Gridless has pioneered the first biomass waste-powered Bitcoin mining operation in Kenya, partnering with one of the largest sisal producers to commission a 1.7MW waste biomass power plant at a sisal plantation. Sisal, derived from the Agave sisala plant, is a durable fiber used in various products and traditionally, the waste was burned. However, due to economic challenges like COVID delays and government policy changes, the power plant was initially uneconomical. Gridless identified this stranded power opportunity, using up to 1.1MW to run Bitcoin miners, making the power plant's operation viable by providing a steady demand for its output. The plant uses dry sisal bulbs, previously wasted by burning, as fuel, which are processed through a vertical suspension boiler to generate steam for power. This setup not only solves power problems with Bitcoin miners acting as demand response tools but also supports renewable energy generation in Kenya. This project is a testament to how Bitcoin mining can utilize waste biofuel, stabilize power grids, and promote sustainable energy practices in Africa, showcasing a unique intersection of technology, agriculture, and energy innovation. A special thanks to GridlessCompute for hosting and Crypto_Mags for sharing this journey.
