Leading digital asset technology firm Marathon Digital has found a way of utilizing the heat from its Bitcoin mining activities.revealed that it has launched a pilot project to warm a Finland community of roughly 11,000 residents with recycled heat from its Bitcoin mining operations.The Finland district heating project is Marathon’s first, marking its debut in Europe. District heating entails heating local buildings by distributing centrally heated water through underground pipes.
Although European data centers consume less energy, their collective share is at least double the global average, accounting for 3% compared to 1-1.5% globally. This also means that these companies generate significant amounts of heat, which could foster strategic partnerships with district heating systems.
“Following the success of our pilot project in Utah, where we demonstrated that it is both economically viable and environmentally beneficial to use landfill gas for digital asset compute, we have continued to experiment with innovative ways that our operations can add value beyond securing distributed ledgers, like Bitcoin’s,” said Marathon’s chief growth officer Adam Swick.Marathon energized the 2-megawatt data center for the pilot project in late May in the Satakunta region of Finland.
