Episode notes
Bridging the Energy Gap
- Crusoe strategically captures wasted energy to power its operations.
- This approach addresses the broken link between energy supply and demand.
Upstream Energy Partnerships
- Crusoe works directly with energy producers to capture wasted resources like flared gas.
- This creates a revenue stream from an otherwise wasted asset and reduces emissions.
Balancing Downtime Tolerance
- Bitcoin mining is more flexible in terms of downtime tolerance compared to cloud computing.
- Crusoe leverages this difference to optimize its energy use and manage various computing workloads efficiently.
