Your energy.
Put it to work.
Our focus is landfill and stranded gas, including flare sites. We assess usable supply, existing infrastructure and commercial fit to explore a mining customer for your site. Hydro, existing powered sites and other sources are considered selectively around client needs.
You fund and own the build; power availability, the per-kWh price and operating terms are agreed for each project. Flexible demand is designed around the supplier’s needs.

What could work
with your energy?
Choose your source to explore a possible route to a mining load. Landfill and stranded gas lead our sourcing; other routes need a relevant client or a strong site-specific opportunity. Each review starts with supply you can offer and infrastructure that can actually be used.
Our gas specialty, plus other routes to explore.
Landfill gas, with a route to demand.
Scope the fuel-to-power route before sizing the mining load.
Collection or handling equipment may be present. Treatment, generation and electrical distribution must be assessed separately; they are not assumed free.
What we need to establish
- Resource volume, composition and expected supply life
- Existing fuel commitments and authority to sell
- Treatment, conversion equipment and permitting needs
Illustrative connection routes. Supply rights, usable capacity, equipment condition and costs are checked for each site.
Discuss this sourceStorage and hybrid proposals need an underlying energy supply. See the site-finding service if you are looking for a location instead of offering one.

These landfill and flare examples show the equipment used for a gas-to-power project. Other energy sources follow the routes above. Select “With Proton on it” to configure a mining layout; existing assets and reuse still require site-specific verification.

Managed Energy HostingYou own the infrastructure. We manage the hosting.
Your infrastructure.
Our hosting operations.
Proton Managed Energy Hosting gives owners another way to develop an energy site: you fund and own the agreed infrastructure, customers own their miners, and Proton coordinates development, customer acquisition and hosting operations.
Build on what exists
We assess usable equipment, available power and remaining work before proposing a phased, owner-funded budget. Equipment condition and rights are checked separately.
Agree the economics
We assess usable equipment, available power and remaining work, then send a written, non-binding proposal: your build budget, a capital-recovery price per kWh until your build cost is paid back, then a lower operating price. Returns depend on costs and how many miners are placed.
Operate with clear roles
Proton manages customer onboarding, monitoring and billing. The owner funds agreed major infrastructure maintenance; customers fund miner repairs unless included in their terms.
What we need from youThe build, the energy, land, site control and who approves it.
What we need from you.
You fund and own the build, so a proposal for your site starts with what you control: the energy, the land, the rights and the people who can approve it.
- The build. Fund and own the agreed generation, electrical and pad or container infrastructure.
- The energy. Evidence of net power that could serve a new load, an operating profile and who controls supply. Fuel projects also need volume, composition and expected production life.
- Land and access. A usable area sized to the equipment, setbacks and cooling plan, with practical construction and maintenance access.
- Site control. Confirm the land, equipment and energy rights needed for the proposal, including any third-party consent or utility approval.
- A workable supply term. A realistic delivery schedule and contract length that support the proposed capital budget and operating plan.
- A decision maker. The people authorized to discuss energy supply, land access and project approval, including separate asset owners where relevant.
How you get paidA per-kWh price for the power Proton’s placed miners use.
One way to get paid.
Proton offers one structure: you fund and own the build, and Proton pays per kWh for the electricity its placed miners use. There is no minimum purchase; hosting customers prepay Proton monthly, and you may switch the miners off if a payment is late.
Per kWh, in writing
A capital-recovery price per kWh until your build cost is paid back, then a lower operating price, set in writing for the site.
No minimum purchase
Proton pays for the metered electricity used by the miners it places. It does not promise a set occupancy or a minimum purchase.
Prepaid hosting
Hosting customers prepay Proton monthly, and you may switch the miners off if a payment to you is late.
Proton offers no minimum purchase. Curtailment, notice and restart terms are agreed in writing before signing.
Site requirementsUsable power, existing equipment, access and economics.
What a buildable site looks like.
Start with the information you have. We assess what can reach a new load, what can be reused and what still needs funding. The acceptable size and schedule depend on the site economics.
Project stagesFrom first contact to an operating mine.
From first email to first hash.
Start with a fit review, then set milestones around the site. Power availability, approvals, financing and connection work determine the schedule.
Screen the opportunity
Share location, energy source, potential usable MW, delivery hours, existing equipment and who controls the assets. We identify the evidence needed to assess the opportunity.
Agree the proposed structure
Set proposed energy terms, access rights, capital responsibilities, service scope and operating flexibility. Agree any confidentiality terms and remaining conditions before detailed work.
Verify the site
Review supply and load records, equipment, land and energy rights, connection requirements and the permit path. Fuel sampling applies where needed. Test the remaining build budget and operating economics before a commitment.
Approve and build the agreed scope
After the required agreements, funding and approvals are in place, procure and build the missing works. Existing assets are reused only after technical and commercial checks; new generation is included only when the supply route requires it.
Energize and operate
Test the connection, protection, cooling, metering and control systems before acceptance. Operate within the agreed supply windows, with monitoring, maintenance, reporting and curtailment duties defined by the service agreement.
For gas projects: emissionsCompare the actual baseline and proposed operation.
Measure the change at the site.
For landfill, flare and other gas projects, assess the existing operation and proposed use separately. An emissions benefit needs site-specific evidence; this comparison does not apply automatically to electrical supply from other sources.
- Establish the baseline. Document collected gas, current flare or venting conditions, operating hours and existing permitted uses.
- Assess the proposed system. Review treatment, engine performance, methane slip, leaks and other emissions across expected operating conditions.
- Keep the operating safeguards. Confirm required backup combustion, emergency operation and continued compliance when the mining load stops.
- Define evidence and reporting. Agree metering, test methods and reporting responsibilities. Do not count avoided emissions or credits without a supported method and applicable eligibility.

Common questions
What owners ask first.
Do you work with hydro, nuclear, renewables or existing grid power?
Our specialty is landfill and stranded gas. Operating hydro and already powered sites are considered when they fit a client; nuclear, renewables and other sources need a specific commercial opening or client brief. We first establish who can offer energy, net capacity, operating hours, delivery terms and connection work. Submitting a site does not establish a buyer or a funded project.
What does this cost me?
It depends on the agreed scope. In the owner-funded model you fund and own the generation and hosting infrastructure, and Proton pays for the electricity its placed miners use at a per-kWh price set in writing for your site.
What if I need the gas or the power back?
Miners can be switched off when you need the energy back. Proton offers no minimum purchase. Curtailment, notice and restart terms are agreed in writing before signing.
What happens to my bitcoin exposure?
A per-kWh price set in writing does not move directly with bitcoin prices, but supply and counterparty risks remain. Hosting customers prepay Proton monthly, and you may switch the miners off if a payment is late.
How much space and noise are we talking about?
Space and noise depend on the machines, cooling, electrical equipment and any new generation. A site using existing delivered power may need no on-site engine. The layout must account for local limits, neighbours, access and setbacks before costs and capacity are confirmed.
Who handles permits and regulatory exposure?
The project agreement assigns each approval and ongoing duty to the appropriate party. Requirements depend on the source and jurisdiction: land use, utility service, electrical connection, noise and, where relevant, generation emissions or water use. Existing asset obligations remain with their responsible operator unless formally changed.
What happens at the end of the term?
The agreement should identify which assets stay, which are removed, who pays for restoration and whether financial security is required. Extension and termination rights are agreed before construction.
Can you assess a small or intermittent supply?
Yes. Share the usable MW or fuel flow, available hours, location, existing equipment and expected remaining work. A smaller or flexible project can be assessed on its own economics; submission does not establish that a project is viable or that funding is available.
