Co-Founder & Chief Growth Officer | Vespene Energy. We mitigate harmful methane emissions by converting it to electricity to power onsite beneficial use.
Excited to announce @Vespene_Energy’s 1st fundraising round w/ @Polychaincap.
This investment will help us turn harmful landfill methane into clean power for carbon-negative Bitcoin mining.
Thank you @Aoyon_A’s for your thoughtful article: https://t.co/TBqDS3nMDX
Landfills account for roughly 15% of US methane emission. And of the 2,600+ landfills in the US, less than a third have gas-to-energy operations.
#SOAR2023 sponsor @VespeneEnergy seeks to fill this gap at no cost to landfills and fuel the transition to a renewable energy future
Methane has 80x the warming power of CO2, yet 1500 US landfills continue to emit it freely. @Vespene_Energy CEO @Digital_Ore explains how self-sustaining microgrids can help us meet the administration’s methane targets. https://t.co/x8e1v3lWV9
We will never fully understand the landfill methane problem if we can’t measure the amount of methane being released at landfill sites. Hopefully this next phase of research will add a new layer of transparency to the state of our landfills and bring new awareness to the issue.
Excited for Day 2 of @pacificbitcoin! Our team has been blown away by the energy from both the presenters and attendees - kudos to @Swanbitcoin for hosting
I'm most looking forward to hearing @adlavee discuss @Vespene_Energy's method of harnessing methane gas from landfills to power BTC mining machines.
What are you most looking forward to hearing about Texas Blockchain Summit @txblockchain1 ?? 👂👂
In 2020, over 12 million metric tons of landfill methane were produced from municipal landfills in the US.
What happens to the generated landfill methane? A thread:
Thanks @alexstanczyk and @SwanBitcoin for hosting me today to talk about @Vespene_Energy’s mission of mitigating landfill emissions. Excited to continue the discussion!
Methane (an energy source, and a more potent greenhouse gas than C02) leaks out of landfills all over the place.
Sometimes, it is be captured and used, but often not.
Other times, it just leaks out as methane or is flared into CO2 as a mitigation (uneconomically lit on fire).
Worth a watch. Stranded methane is a free energy source that, when used, reduces dangerous emissions drastically.
Flaring—while better than nothing—is wasteful and expensive.

There are millions of orphaned gas and oil wells leaking methane in the U.S. — and plugging them will cost billions. Watch the full video: https://t.co/deOAMP8EED
Great Q&A with a Vespene Energy founder @Digital_Ore hosted by @DidierBorel1 from The Swiss Road To Crypto. Tune in to hear Vespene Energy's mission and how #Bitcoin can to turn a liability into an asset.

This is a map of the 1,404 landfills in the US that do not have methane capture / flaring infrastructure. These landfills hold a total of 1.4 Billion tons of waste. That's the equivalent of 15,600 aircraft carriers that, if placed end to end, would stretch from San Diego to Maine
Sobering reporting from @lesliehook & @digitalcampbell. This is why demand for solutions to curb methane is only going to grow. Notice how significant emissions are from the waste sector

The world needs a scalable solution, that is deployable today, to reduce our methane emissions and slow climate change, coined a ‘Layer 1’ climate tech solution by our friend @DSBatten
Here’s why…

"The Buenos Aires landfill emitted 250,000 annual tonnes - half of the city’s total methane emissions." A single city is emitting 500,000 tonnes of methane annually, that's 42m tonnes of CO2e using 20 year equivalent. Priorities, folks.
