I spoke to Paul Cockerham, Partner at Verdemining. He and I are talking about their flared gas operations in the south of the US. He goes into the technical detail of the different stages the gas is going through before it's turned into electricity and heat. Some exciting details, that I am sure you are not aware of when it comes to utilising ASICs this way.
