Steve Kinard, Director of Mining at the Texas Blockchain Council, joined Weaver's Tim Savage for a look into the bitcoin mining process. Many people may be familiar with term bitcoin mining, but not everyone understands what that process entails.“A simple explanation is that mining involves a piece of data that is difficult to find and relatively easy to verify,” Steve says. “Bitcoin is a protocol that allows peer-to-peer transactions between you and me or anybody else who is free to come into the network. The function of mining is to validate those transactions. Bitcoin transactions build up into what is called the mempool and eventually miners they form them into a block.”Operating on the Secure Hash Algorithm 256 (SHA-256) cryptographic algorithm, miners race to form new blocks on the bitcoin network by searching for a piece of encrypted data that allows a miner to mint a new block on the chain when found. The new block confirms the transactions in the mempool and the miner is rewarded with transaction fees and a block mining reward. Currently, the mining reward, excluding transaction fees, is 6.25 btc until mid-2024 when it is projected to halve, which occurs every four years and is known as the halving cycle. New blocks are minted on the bitcoin network approximately every ten minutes, averaging 144 blocks per day. Based on the number of miners participating in the network, the algorithm establishes a difficulty target to ensure the ten minute process, and miners simply run computers that perform this mathematical function.At an industrial level, the bitcoin mining process utilizes higher amounts of energy. However, Tim and Steve discuss some common misconceptions about energy consumption from mining. Tim points out, “energy conversion is not a bad thing. Use of energy is essential to the network's security and adds a real cost for someone who might want to attack the network. An attacker would need to win 51% of the computing power, meaning they would need to obtain local licenses and approvals to operate in places where power availability exists, buy a significant of mining equipment, and build the infrastructure to run it. This would cost tens of billions of dollars, and at that point the attacker would be much more monetarily incentivized to act according to the rules than to manipulate transaction data. Otherwise, people would leave the network and bitcoin could go to zero. This is the game theory that underpins the bitcoin network, and energy is a fundamental piece of the equation.” While this kind of attack is theoretically possible, Tim and Steve agree the bitcoin network has propagated to a point of decentralization where this is becoming exceedingly unlikely.In actuality, bitcoin mining helps stabilize the grid when constructed properly. Before bitcoin was invented, the world was not able to instantaneously increase or decrease load demand in such a way that bitcoin mining offers. Steve comments, “consistent power consumption provides flexibility to the grid when requests for more power come from other areas. The miners can instantly shut down power to allow the grid to divert it elsewhere as needed. The more of that we can have, the stronger our grid will be, and the better it will be able to serve all users and all citizens.”Tim and Steve also discuss how miners are seeking new energy sources in an effort to reduce energy costs. Miners are increasing demand for renewable sources such as solar, wind, and hydro, and some studies show that as much as 50% of bitcoin mining is powered from these sources. Additionally, miners are utilizing stranded sources of energy such as natural gas that would otherwise be wasted. Increasingly, miners and exploration companies are working together to reduce carbon emissions and monetize these stranded sources of energy.

The Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe recently signed a partnership agreement with UK-based Global OTEC for the deployment of a commercial Floating Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) Platform. We explore this project in more detail, and unpack how this cutting edge technology holds a key to decarbonising small island nations.

This week Chris and Johan talk with Dan, Founder and CEO of Global OTEC. Global OTEC works on the reducing tropical nations reliance on fossil fuels in areas that are suitable for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC). In a very interesting episode Dan explains how Global OTEC is overcoming challenges that it faces on a regular basis and where Global OTEC will be in five years and the effects will have on these tropical islands and how they use their energy. 

What if we could produce an energy-dense carbon-neutral fuel that suits uses of fossil fuels? Researchers like Amanda Morris are working with different types of solar energy conversion to produce such a fuel, and the potential is promising, exiting, and challenging. Listen in to this conversation about solar energy and its applications and learn How her lab is trying to imitate the chemical process a plant uses in photosynthesis to tap in to renewable energy sources for vehicle fuel, How she works with "material scaffolds" to solve some of the challenges, and What the timeline looks like for this technology and what breakthroughs are needed.  Amanda J. Morris is a professor and associate chair of the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Tech. She's spent her career addressing environmental issues like climate change through scientific solutions. Currently her lab is trying to imitate the photosynthesis process to produce a fuel that could replace fossil fuels. As plants convert sun energy and carbon dioxide to make sugar, solar energy conversion technology hopes to turn the same products into something we can use to fill up our cars. She gets more specific, explaining how this differs from solar panel energy conversion. Rather than send those electrons and positively charged holes into circuits, she wants to put them on carbon dioxide and water molecules, producing methane after reduction and oxidation. But there are a couple of interesting puzzles along the way that can be summarized by two main goals: first, they need to refine the process of harnessing the sun energy closer to that of plants. Plants are green because of the chlorophyll that's responsible for capturing solar energy. She and her colleagues are trying to imitate and manipulate that chlorophyll process, reenacting the chemical environment in a way to produce this fuel. Second, water oxidation possess a tremendous challenge. Getting electrons from water is incredibly difficult to do without producing highly reactive oxidizing species. They are trying to make something stable, but with the right geometry to drive the chemistry energy. The potential that comes from solving these challenges are exciting, offering numerous solutions for environmental problems and climate-friendly technologies.

Sure, we could put out bids to some sort of consulting group or contractor to help us reduce the 5 million gallons of city tap water the college uses each August just to feed the cooling towers. But why would we when we have the genius students of the Auburn University Energy and Natural Resources Project at our disposal?

Today, I will talk about the concept of band gap energy. Just because it’s sunny outside doesn’t mean that it’s the right type of solar spectrum to generate electricity.
