'Cryptomatoes' Using Excess Mining Heat to Grow Produce
Over the past couple of years, there's been a lot of discussions concerning the energy consumed by cryptocurrency mining. However, more recently mining operations have been using environmentally friendly methods and some of them are channeling the excess heat to do produce other goals. This week the co-founder of the trading platform Nakamoto X, Kamil Brejcha, revealed a picture of tomatoes growing in a greenhouse that uses excess mining heat for the plant's sustenance.
On March 10 the co-founder of the exchange Nakamoto X, Kamil Brejcha, revealed a photo of large bunches of tomatoes that were grown using excess heat from cryptocurrency miners. Mining rigs and computer servers, in general, give off a decent amount of heat and many cryptocurrency proponents have used this resource to heat homes, and other types of solutions. Brejcha explains the "cryptomatoes" became a reality after they developed a system that helps blow excess heat into the greenhouse.
"Who would imagine that mining cryptocurrencies and agriculture can work together?" Brejcha asks his followers on Twitter.
The first batch of cryptomatoes is ready to be harvested. We are using the excess heat for the tomato greenhouse and it is working.
