District heating in Finland
„Project Genesis“ supplies heat to a Finnish town with 12,000 residents
Key Facts:
- Location: Finland
- Energy Source: 100% renewable energy
- Total Capacity: 1 MW
- Mining Equipment: Whatsminer M63S – custom-built design for required heat production
- Features: Year-round waste heat utilization through the local district heating network
The heat is fed into the local district heating network at a temperature level of 70°C. This ensures year-round heat supply for a Finnish town with 12,000 residents. Bitcoin mining serves as the sole heat source – from providing hot water in the summer to heating homes in the winter.
The Genesis project in Finland demonstrates how Bitcoin mining can be implemented sustainably, profitably, and efficiently within Europe.
Car Wash Facility in Münsingen
Combining modern technology with sustainable resource utilization
Key Facts:
- Facility Features: 5 self-service washing bays, 1 portal car wash, and 7 vacuum stations
- Energy Source: 150 kW peak photovoltaic system
- Water Treatment: Biological water treatment system with sludge separator, biological purification, and high water reuse rates
- Bitcoin Mining: Integration of a 20-kW Bitcoin mining system as the primary heat source
The Bitcoin mining system serves as the central heat source, eliminating the need for an oil or gas heating system. In addition to providing heat, Bitcoin mining generates cashback, reducing overall operating costs.
This model project illustrates how decarbonized heating, sustainable resource utilization, and economic efficiency can be successfully combined in a car wash facility.
