Immersive cooling tech could help Bitcoin mining go green by 2030
November 18, 2021
Immersive cooling technology may help with the transition to zero-emission Bitcoin (BTC) mining, Hass McCook, a member of the Bitcoin Mining Council (BMC), told Cointelegraph.
McCook, known online as Friar Hass, believes the industry is on track to have hit the goal by 2030.
Immersive cooling involves submerging Bitcoin mining ASICs into a specialized cooling fluid, which absorbs and recycles heat from the data center. This method of Bitcoin mining increases productivity.
Earlier this month, Bitcoin mining company Riot Blockchain announced it would be developing 200 megawatts of immersion-cooled Bitcoin mining infrastructure at its Whinstone Facility. Based on the company’s preliminary immersion-cooling test results, it expects the hash rate to increase by 25% and ASIC performance to increase by up to 50%.
