US Ambassador to Argentina Hails Bitcoin Miner's 'Genius' Flared Gas Power Generation Plans

The U.S. Ambassador to Argentina, Marc R. Stanley, has lauded Unblock Computing’s bitcoin mining initiative for its innovative use of flared gas in generating electricity. Ambassador Stanley commended the plan for its dual benefits: aiding Argentina in achieving its climate objectives and promoting energy conservation.

Argentina’s Climate Goals

The United States Ambassador to Argentina, Embajador Marc R. Stanley, has praised bitcoin miner Unblock Computing’s plan to generate electricity using flared gas. According to Stanley, Unblock Computing and its partner Crusoe Energy Systems’ ingenious plan not only helps the South American country attain its climate goals but also saves energy.

The remarks by Stanley, which he shared via X (formerly Twitter), followed reports that the Argentine Bitcoin miner had secured a $15 million investment to power its operations at Vaca Muerta. Located in the Neuquén Basin in northern Patagonia, Vaca Muerta is said to hold one of the world’s largest shale gas reserves.

Expressing his delight at the two companies’ unique way of generating electricity, the U.S. Ambassador said:

Love seeing U.S. [and] Argentine companies work together to solve problems and help the environment. The geniuses at Crusoe [and] Unblock Global figured out a way to combust methane and generate electricity. This not only helps Argentina meet its climate goals, but also saves energy and makes money. Brilliant.

Meanwhile, in a Dec. 13 post on X, Tomas Ocampo, the founder of Unblock Computing, said the $15 million investment is set to help Crusoe Energy Systems and its partners produce $200 million worth of oil with fewer emissions.
