Summary

Daniel Batten is an ESG analyst, and the co-founder of CH4 Capital. In this conversation we talk about a wild idea, taking waste from landfills and turning it into energy, then mining bitcoin right there on-site. Why would you want to do this? Not only can you mine bitcoin with cheap energy, there is also the potential to capture methane instead of leaking it out into the environment, and make bitcoin mining a net negative methane emission.
