Electricity is generated with the residual or vent gas from the Vaca Muerta oil well, one of the largest reserves in the region.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis first pilot, which is already operating, operates with 1 MW of generation, and a second project is being developed simultaneously to start operating before the end of the year, of about 8 MW, in the Bajo del Toro area, which also belongs to YPF,\u201d said Mart\u00edn Mandarano, CEO of YPF Luz, in an interview with T\u00e9lam.<\/p>\n\n<p>This pilot project supplies 1 MW of electricity to a Bitcoin mining plant, operated by an international client. In addition, by the end of the year a second 8 MW generator will be commissioned. The facilities are located on Vaca Muerta land, state news agency T\u00e9lam reported. <\/p>\n\n<p>The residual gas that is used arises from the development of a new hydrocarbon project in Vaca Muerta. In this first stage of construction, oil is associated with natural gas that cannot be redirected through a gas pipeline, so it is used to generate electricity. When the well is complete and producing oil and gas, mining equipment will move to a new facility under development.<\/p>\n\n<p>This material from the cryptonoticias.com portal was edited for clarity, style and length.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.criptonoticias.com\/mineria\/ypf-argentina-activa-plan-minar-bitcoin-gas-natural\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.criptonoticias.com\/mineria\/ypf-argentina-activa-plan-minar-bitcoin-gas-natural\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Photo<\/strong>: ShutterStock<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"#shorts Minar Bitcoin con gas natural en Argentina: Conoce de este proyecto piloto de YPF \u26cf\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XQgIGa_RnPE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss the <strong>Inspenet News<\/strong> at: <a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/inspenet-tv\/\">https:\/\/inspenet.com\/inspenet-tv\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Minar Bitcoin con gas natural en Argentina: Conoce de este proyecto piloto de YPF \u26cf\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AbmKHAkd-Lo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Franyi Sarmiento, Ph.D., Inspenet, October 7, 2022.<br \/>\nYPF Luz, a subsidiary company of the state oil company YPF, provides electricity to a Bitcoin mining plant.
