Breaking Ground: Pathfinder’s First Gas-to-Power Data Centre Operation is Underway!
HIGHLIGHTS
First two modular centres (‘ MDCs’ ) delivered to AXP’s site with interconnection to gas-fired generators scheduled to commence this weekend;
The modular data centres operated by Blackhart Technologies will host589 Bitmain S19J Pro (104T) Antminers used for Bitcoin mining;
AXP will focus on its core operations and earn revenue from gas-to-power supply infrastructure maintenance and power uptime bonuses to support Blackhart’s Bitcoin mining operations;
Additional modular data centres are earmarked for two more sites, JW Powell and Kelce Court, with further expansion anticipated beyond this;
The JDA with Blackhart represents the first step in AXP monetizing the large amounts of stranded gas at its Pathfinder Field in Colorado. Pathfinder’s Contingent Resources (2C)1 of 744 BCF of gas has the necessary scale to underpin a significant off-grid power generation operation to service data processing activities.
How does this affect me?
As a consumer, this innovation in gas-to-power data centre operation may lead to more secure and efficient data processing which could potentially translate to improved services for you. Additionally, it may contribute to the sustainability of energy sources used in data centres, promoting a greener future.
How does this affect the world?
This advancement signifies a step towards utilizing stranded natural gas for power generation, which could reduce reliance on traditional energy sources and decrease carbon emissions. It sets a precedent for environmentally friendly practices in the data processing industry, influencing other companies to consider similar sustainable solutions.
Conclusion
Breaking ground on Pathfinder’s first gas-to-power data centre operation marks a significant milestone in the industry. With the potential to revolutionize energy sources for data processing and pave the way for greener practices, this collaboration between AXP and Blackhart Technologies represents a promising future for sustainable data operations.
