Reabold Resources, a UK oil and gas firm, released a clarification on April 20 addressing weekend media reports that it was prioritizing Bitcoin mining at its natural gas field over boosting the UK’s energy supply. The firm noted its West Newton gas field in Yorkshire will keep prioritizing the UK’s energy security. At the same time, it is exploring small-scale power generation to mine Bitcoin with initial gas output from the field. This, however, is meant to prove the feasibility of building an on-site gas-powered data center to lay the groundwork for future large-scale projects. The firm stressed this move doesn’t rule out eventually connecting the gas to the national grid or supplying industrial users. Earlier reports claimed the field could theoretically mine 50,000 Bitcoins, but the firm has not confirmed a timeline or equipment plans.
