Ground-breaking Project in Finland Uses Bitcoin Mining to Heat Homes
A new project in Finland is turning energy from Bitcoin mining into energy to heat homes.
Hashlabs Mining, a Bitcoin mining infrastructure firm, has pioneered a ground-breaking project that allows heat to be generated using specially designed Bitcoin mining devices.
The project exploits hydro-cooled WhatsMiner M63S, an ASIC mining device, which produces hot water at ~70°C in the cooling process.
Using the Finnish district heating system, a network of insulated pipes connects this hot water source to multiple buildings to provide them with heating. This allows households to benefit from industrial BTC mining.
