Could crypto cut fossil fuel waste? CrusoeEnergy, an operator repurposing wasted fuel energy to the computational power of crypto mining, partners with Oman to help with the nation’s goal of zero gas flaring by 2030.

Oman’s government interest in the partnership is driven by an aim to cut the country’s gas flaring — burning off the excessive flammable gas in the process of extraction.
