Today’s episode dives into a topic at the heart of innovation in energy and finance: renewable energy-powered Bitcoin mining. We’re thrilled to be joined by Dr. Simon Collins, CEO of Stackr, a company leading the charge in redefining Bitcoin mining as a tool for sustainability. Stackr’s mission is simple yet transformative: decarbonise the energy grid and economy by acting as a “buyer of last resort” for stranded or wasted energy. With renewable energy sources like wind and solar often facing challenges like demand-capacity mismatches and curtailment, Stackr steps in to purchase surplus energy that would otherwise go to waste.
In this episode, we’ll unpack how Stackr’s innovative approach addresses one of the biggest challenges of renewable energy adoption—efficiently integrating variable energy sources into the grid. We’ll explore how Bitcoin mining, often criticised for its energy use, can instead play a pivotal role in decarbonisation and grid stability.
