🔥 Turning Africa’s Flare Gas Problem into a Bitcoin Mining Opportunity ⚡ Petrobras is the latest oil giant to mine Bitcoin using flare gas—securing the network while slashing methane emissions. They join a growing list of global energy leaders, including Tecpetrol, YPF, Plus Petrol (Argentina), Gazpromneft (Russia), ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips (US). 🌍 Africa’s Untapped Potential In 2021 alone, sub-Saharan Africa flared 12.15 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas—enough to double the region’s electricity supply if properly harnessed. 🔹 Algeria led the continent with 8.2 bcm flared. 🔹 Cameroon had the highest flaring intensity at 33.8 cubic meters per barrel of oil. 🚨 Missed Opportunities & Rising Costs 🔹 Libya’s gas flaring surged 25% in 2023, worsening emissions. 🔹 Algeria reduced its flaring by 5%, proving that change is possible. The economic and environmental cost of wasted gas is staggering—driving climate damage and financial losses. 💡 Bitcoin Mining: A Sustainable Solution? Rather than letting this gas go to waste, Africa can monetize stranded energy through Bitcoin mining—just like Petrobras. This approach could: ✅ Convert wasted gas into economic value ✅ Reduce greenhouse gases ✅ Strengthen Africa’s energy resilience If major oil companies worldwide are adopting this model, why not Africa? The question isn't if Bitcoin mining can help—it's when Africa will embrace it.
