Federal methane reports

How much bitcoin are we missing?

Large facilities in Canada report their methane to the federal government. The biggest reports hold most of the gas. Take the top of that gas, pick a real mining machine, and see what it would earn if the gas made electricity instead of leaving the site.

The bar does not cut a site in half. It keeps adding the next-biggest report until the share is reached, so the real share can be a little over the number you picked.

Bitmain Antminer S21 XP. It does 300 terahash per second, which is 300 trillion tries a second. It draws 4,050 watts. 13.5 joules per terahash is how much electricity each unit of that work uses. A lower number is a more efficient machine. Same machine card as the rest of this site.

Source: Environment and Climate Change Canada, Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program Electricity uses the same generator rule as each site card: a Jenbacher-class engine at 90% of its listed power, averaged over the day, because the report is a daily amount. Bitcoin is gross earnings at the network rate above. It is not profit, and it is not the higher optimistic rate on older payback cards. Reported methane is not a pipe already built.

The Problem

Stranded methane is natural gas that is uneconomical to capture and transport through pipelines. It is routinely vented or flared. Methane's global warming potential is ~28× CO₂ over 100 years and ~80× over 20 years (IPCC AR5).

Capturing landfill gas and burning it in a genset converts CH₄ to CO₂ — so it still emits a greenhouse gas. The defensible claim, for an operator who already flares: flaring already destroys methane but earns nothing; mining monetises the same destruction — roughly 28–80× lower warming impact per molecule than venting, with zero additional load on the electrical grid.

Canada has thousands of these sites. The data is public. The technology exists today.

The Opportunity

  • → Reduce methane emissions at source
  • → Generate Bitcoin using otherwise wasted energy
  • → Create new revenue for site owners & remediation
  • → Zero additional load on the electrical grid
The site class the industry is now moving on: 1 Canadian facility reports venting at or above 1.5 t CH₄/hour — and our largest landfill by reported CH₄ (Essex-Windsor, 32,544 kg/day ≈ 1.36 t/hr) sits within ~10% of that 1.5 t/hr class that public reporting (@DSBatten, 2026-09-10) says landed a Bitcoin-mining deal. ECCC publishes no venting/flaring split for landfill gas (it is filed under "Waste"), so we make no claim about how that landfill vents or flares — we rank it purely on reported CH₄. We cite that post as third-party context only — no partnership, endorsement, or use of our data is implied.

FEEL WHAT SMALL NUMBERS CAN DO

What if we captured just 5%?

~131 sites • ~1,049,340 t CO₂e (5% capture scenario, illustrative)

Scenario equivalent at the stated capture rate — not a verified avoided-emissions claim. This is only 5%. The full 2,611 is 20× more powerful.

FROM THE PEOPLE BUILDING IT

Voices from the frontier

“For the first time the economics actually work without subsidies.” — Western Canada energy leader
“The data was always there. Someone finally made it feel alive and urgent.” — Climate tech founder, Toronto
“This isn’t theory for our communities. It’s new revenue from something that used to cost us.” — Northern Alberta landholder

This is what fixing the world looks like.

Not another tax. Not another rule. Just the hardest money ever invented, quietly eating one of the dirtiest problems on Earth — one small, profitable, beautiful site at a time.
