Definition
Flared gas compute refers to using otherwise-wasted natural gas (flared at oil wells) to power data center or crypto mining operations. crusoe pioneered this model before pivoting to AI infrastructure.
Key Points
- Converts stranded energy into compute workloads at remote sites
- Crusoe evolved from flare-gas mining to modular AI factories (modular-ai-factories)
- Environmental angle: reduces methane flaring while monetizing excess gas
