Through its subsidiary, Japan&#8217;s largest electricity supplier has begun using excess renewable energy for Bitcoin mining. Agile Energy X, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TEPCO, is conducting experiments using surplus solar power to operate Bitcoin mining equipment, as reported by a local media outlet citing its CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company has installed mining equipment near solar farms in Japan&#8217;s Gunma and Tochigi prefectures to utilize energy that would otherwise be wasted.\u00a0The initiative helps reduce the waste of green energy from solar and wind farms\u00a0thatare forced\u00a0to reduce their output to avoid overloading\u00a0Japan&#8217;s\u00a0grid.\u00a0Kenji Tateiwa, founder and CEO, believes that the\u00a0success of the project\u00a0could encourage more investment in clean energy linked to Bitcoin mining.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin mining will\u00a0encourage\u00a0green energy. According\u00a0to the local newspaper, production control techniques in Japan led to the waste of 1,920 gigawatt-hours of energy in 2023, which is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 450,000 households. Agile Energy X has run simulations indicating that if renewables supplied half of Japan&#8217;s electricity, up to 240,000 gigawatt-hours could be wasted annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bitcoin Mining Could Generate $2.5 Billion Annually<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tateiwa stressed that the benefits of this activity could contribute to corporate&nbsp;profits,&nbsp;while incentivizing more companies in the country to replicate the effort in pursuit of sustainability.&nbsp;\u201cGreen energy producers have to operate their businesses under the assumption that some of the energy they generate&nbsp;is wasted,\u201d&nbsp;Tateiwa said.&nbsp;\u201cIf bitcoins were to provide a new source of revenue to similar energy producers, who&nbsp;are&nbsp;exposed&nbsp;to excessive investments, that would bring in more green energy.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other&nbsp;countries, companies in the energy sector have applied similar approaches to obtain resources&nbsp;with which&nbsp;to mine bitcoins.&nbsp;In El Salvador, for example, geothermal energy from its volcanoes is&nbsp;being&nbsp;used to generate cryptocurrencies, while&nbsp;in Argentina,&nbsp;surplus waste gas from the oil industry is&nbsp;being used.&nbsp;The United States, especially Texas, is another country where renewable energy&nbsp;is used&nbsp;to balance the grid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One example is the project of Marathon Digital Holdings, the&nbsp;world&#8217;s&nbsp;largest Bitcoin mining company, which has embarked on a new project that will heat an entire city in Finland with recycled heat generated from Bitcoin mining.&nbsp;TEPCO&#8217;s&nbsp;approach to the cryptocurrency industry is not new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agile\u00a0Energy&#8217;s\u00a0efforts are in response to a more general shift in Bitcoin mining toward green energy. A report by Coinshares noted that Bitcoin miners use renewable energy in remote areas and actively seek the cheapest energy. Data shows that 56% of miners now use renewable energy\u00a0for their operations. Daniel Batten, an environmental analyst specializing in Bitcoin, noted that BTC&#8217;s sustainable energy mix has increased by 6% year-over-year, more than any other industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A subsidiary of TEPCO,\u00a0Japan&#8217;s\u00a0leading electricity provider,\u00a0is using\u00a0waste solar energy for Bitcoin mining.\u00a0Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) is entering the Bitcoin [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[629,2935],"tags":[650,651,675],"class_list":["post-64680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cryptocurrencies","category-markets","tag-bitcoin","tag-crypto","tag-japan"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
