Energy Verticals
Methane is live today. Wind, solar, waste heat, biomass, and hydro spill are expanding the Stranded Value ecosystem.

Curtailed Wind in the Prairies
beta- →Alberta & Saskatchewan see recurring negative-price hours — ideal for interruptible mining load
- →Containerized ASIC farms can ramp 0→100% in minutes to absorb spill without grid contracts
- →~340 candidate wind farms identified via IESO/AESO curtailment reports (beta dataset)

♨️
Waste Heat → Hash
beta- →Pulp & paper, refineries, and data centres vent megawatts of low-grade heat daily
- →Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) + immersion cooling pairs well with stranded ASIC deployments
- →Stacked with methane capture: treat exhaust heat as bonus kW after genset prime power
