If you are flaring landfill gas, flaring associated gas, or curtailing generation because there is nowhere to send it, you have a product with no customer. We finance, build, and run the load that turns it into revenue — on your land, without a pipeline, and without you spending a dollar of capital.
Interruptible by design. If you need the gas or the power back, we shut down — on your schedule, not ours.
All of them share one problem: production and demand are in the wrong place, or at the wrong time.
Municipal landfills, wastewater plants, and agricultural digesters with collected gas going to a flare because RNG upgrading does not pencil at your volume. We take gas that is currently destroyed for free and pay for it instead.
Oil producers with gas they cannot economically gather. Takeaway is constrained, the pipeline is years away, or the volume never justified the tie-in. We bring generation to the pad and consume the gas at the wellhead — cutting flare volume while turning a disposal cost into a revenue line.
Wind and solar assets that get dispatched down, hit negative pricing, or sit behind a congested interconnect. We become the buyer of last resort at the busbar — and we get out of the way instantly when the grid wants the power back.
Industrial sites with contracted capacity they are not using, self-generation running below load, or waste heat and pressure with no offtake. We soak up the margin between what you pay for and what you consume.
One site, drawn twice from the same angle. Pull the slider and the gas stops going up the stack and starts going into engines. Your collection system, your existing equipment and your flare stay exactly where they are — because in practice that is what changes and what does not.

The flare stays. It remains permitted and available for upsets, and for any time you take the gas back.

The flare stack stays. It remains permitted and available for upsets, and for any time you take the gas back.
Most partners want the revenue without inheriting a new line of business. That is exactly how we structure it.
Pick the risk profile you want. Fixed and predictable, or tied to the upside — we will quote any of them on the same site.
We buy your gas at a fixed [$X.XX]/MMBtu, or your power at [$0.0XX]/kWh, on a take-or-pay style contract. Simple, bankable, and it moves the bitcoin price risk off your side of the table. What it does not do is remove that risk from the deal: a fixed price is only as good as the company paying it, so ask what stands behind the obligation before you weigh it against a share.
You supply the energy, we supply everything else, and mining revenue splits [XX]/[XX] after agreed operating costs. Lower floor than a fixed contract, meaningfully higher ceiling. Reporting is open-book, with the same telemetry we run on.
You lease us the pad and the interconnect for [$X,XXX] per month and take a [X]% royalty on gross production. Most common where the landowner is not the energy owner, or where a municipality needs a clean, predictable line item.
Every structure includes an interruption right: you can call the load down for operational, contractual, or emergency reasons. [NOTICE REQUIREMENTS AND ANY MINIMUM-TAKE CARVE-OUTS]
If your site is close on most of these, send it anyway — the edges are negotiable and we would rather look than guess.
A straightforward wellsite runs [XX]–[XX] weeks end to end. Permitting is usually the long pole, not construction.
You send volumes, composition, location, and land status. We run it through our screening model and come back with a yes, a no, or the two specific things that would turn a no into a yes. We do not sit on sites.
Non-binding terms covering structure, price, term, interruption rights, and pad requirements. Signed under NDA, with enough detail that neither side is surprised later.
Site walk, metered gas sampling, title and surface review, permit path confirmation, and a full economic model across hashprice scenarios. This is where a site either earns the build or gets returned to you with our reasoning.
Pad, foundations, gas conditioning, generation, switchgear, containers, and network. Long-lead equipment is ordered at term-sheet signing, not at the end of diligence, which is how the schedule holds.
Commissioning, then continuous operation with 24/7 monitoring. You get production reporting on the same cadence as your payments, and a direct line to the people actually running the site.
This is not a marketing claim about being green. It is a straightforward comparison against what happens to the gas today.
You do not need a data room. Volumes, a location, and who controls the land is enough for us to tell you whether it is worth either side’s time.
Prefer email? Write to energy@protonminingco.com. We reply to every submission, including the ones we pass on — with the reason.
Everything you send is treated as confidential. We will sign your NDA before diligence, or send you ours.
Nothing in capital. We fund the generation, the containers, the machines, and the site work. Your exposure is the pad, the energy, and the time your team spends on diligence. If we walk away after diligence, you owe us nothing and keep the site data we produced.
You take it. Every agreement includes an interruption right — if a pipeline comes in, a better offtake appears, or an operational emergency needs the capacity, we curtail. Mining is the only industrial load that can stop mid-second without spoiling a process or damaging equipment, which is exactly why it fits on an active site.
That is your choice, and it is what the structure decides. A gas or power purchase agreement gives you a fixed price with no bitcoin exposure at all. Revenue share and royalty structures tie your revenue to production, so you take some of the upside and some of the volatility. We will model all three against your site so you are choosing with numbers in front of you.
Around [X] acres per [X] MW, containerized and fenced. Sound is dominated by the generation set, not the miners, and we specify enclosures to meet [NOISE LIMIT] at the property line. Where setbacks or neighbours are a concern, we design for it before permitting, not after a complaint.
We do, in your jurisdiction, in our name where the rules allow. Air permitting for the engines, noise, and any local siting approvals are ours to obtain and maintain. You stay the operator of record for your own site — we do not touch your existing compliance obligations.
We remove the equipment and restore the pad to the condition agreed at signing, funded by a removal bond established at the start. Alternatively, many partners extend or expand instead — but the exit is written in from day one so it is never a negotiation later.
Yes. Small pads are frequently buildable when they can be aggregated with neighbouring sites, and one [XXX] Mcf/d location in the right place can anchor a cluster. Send it. The screening costs you an email and we answer either way.
