Gryphon Digital Mining uses CarbonChain, an organization that monitors corporate carbon emissions, to track its carbon footprint. CarbonChains recent report on Gryphon shows that the company has used 100% renewable energy to mine bitcoin thus far in 2024 and 98% renewable energy in 2023, as per Scope 1 and 2 of the report.
Were 100% renewable, and were showing you exactly how its calculated, Gryphon Digital Assets CEO Rob Chang told Bitcoin Magazine.
And were not even the ones calculating it. Its a respected third party doing it, he added.
There are various levels of transparency that the industry needs, but the fact that the reporting is not uniform can be fixed and should be fixed and were happy to lead the way.
Gryphon currently conducts all of its mining through a hosting contract with Coinmint at a facility located in the upstate New York town of Massena, which harnesses 100% hydroelectric power for its operations. While bitcoin mining operations have caused electricity prices to spike in some upstate New York towns, Gryphons operation is having the opposite effect.
Our location is in an economic Opportunity Zone, so, if anything, there isnt much demand [for power] competing against us, Chang told Bitcoin Magazine.
In fact, the existence of bitcoin mining is providing economic power deployment for the region, because it is actually a stable consumer of power that allows the economic delivery of more power to the area, he added.
Gryphon is looking to expand its operations into other jurisdictions that have supportive regulations around bitcoin mining and that offer favorable economics for mining as well as renewable energy to power its facilities.
If its economic and carbon neutral, were there, said Chang.
