This is the concentration of methane in the atmosphere over time. Methane is 84x worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. Imagine if there were a technology that could subsidize the destruction of methane emissions anywhere in the world 🤔

"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. reuters.com/article/climat…

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

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 Daniel Batten Here’s why… 🧵 0/14

Sobering reporting from Leslie Hook & Chris Campbell. This is why demand for solutions to curb methane is only going to grow. Notice how significant emissions are from the waste sector   ft.com/content/9ef195…

Great Q&A with a Vespene Energy founder Adam Wright hosted by Didier Borel 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. open.spotify.com/episode/1o00Ub… podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ves…

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. x.com/CNBC/status/15…

Adam Wright Put it to socially valuable uses… like mining bitcoin.

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).

It's not every day the @Whitehouse touts your business model as a climate solution

Thanks Alex Stanczyk ∞/21m and Swan Bitcoin Client Services for hosting me today to talk about Vespene Energy’s mission of mitigating landfill emissions. Excited to continue the discussion!

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 Nexus PMG for featuring us on TheBTUPod, enjoyed the conversation and it's great to spread awareness around methane mitigation.

I'm most looking forward to hearing Aaron Lavee 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 ?? 👂👂

Team Vespene!

Great article, thanks for highlighting Vespene’s contributions to the Bitcoin ecosystem and Methane Mitigation.

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.

Methane has 80x the warming power of CO2, yet 1500 US landfills continue to emit it freely. Vespene Energy CEO Adam Wright explains how self-sustaining microgrids can help us meet the administration’s methane targets. realclearenergy.org/articles/2023/…

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
