Tom Campbell, who runs a farm in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, produces renewable energy using a method called anaerobic digestion. This involves breaking down biodegradable materials to such an extent that they create methane, which can be used to generate electricity.
Campbell primarily uses electricity to power his farm, but when there is excess energy that cannot be exported to the grid, he uses it to mine Bitcoin. Mining involves the use of specialized computers to solve complex mathematical equations, with successful miners being rewarded with BTC. Bitcoin mining requires a lot of energy and Campbell's farm produces up to 70...
