Marathon digital Holdings announces its first Bitcoin mining pilot project powered by renewable off-grid energy from a landfill. According to the EPA, Municipal Solid Waste landfills contribute to approximately 14% of human-related methane emissions in the United States. Instead of flaring or venting greenhouse gas, Bitcoin miners can beneficially use that energy directly on-site.
