Agriforce Growing Systems (AGRI), a small agricultural business that recently adopted Bitcoin Mining, launched its first Bitcoin
The digital extraction and calculation site in Berwyn, Alberta, using natural gas stranded to supply 120 operating machines.
The site, developed with Blueflare Energy, marks the first operational step of the company in a wider strategy to transform natural gas out of network into digital infrastructure supported by energy.
The Berwyn installation currently draws 425 kW and offers more than 32 pethashes per second (pH / s) of calculation power. A second phase during development will increase the capacity of an additional 200 kW. Blueflare systems monitor emissions and provide real -time telemetry via its owner operating system and carbon monitoring technology.
The use of flared gas to exploit Bitcoin is uniform by minors who seek to use a cheaper source of energy to compensate for part of the margin that affects industry. For several years, the extraction of flared gas bitcoin has been a trend for minors to monetize excess natural gas differently produced when oil and gas companies have enabled fossil fuels.

This deployment is part of the Agriforce three -stea strategy: Bitcoin exploitation, the construction of a modular calculation infrastructure and the monetization of energy directly.
This approach has gained ground with a new binding agreement between Agriforce and Blueflare to extend operations to two additional Alberta sites in Oyen and Hinton. Combined, these deployments could add 1.3 MW of calculation for natural gases, support tasks beyond Bitcoin exploitation – such as the inference of the AI model and on -board computer for industrial devices.
The Agriforce model continues the dependencies of the SIDESTEPS network by pressing unused energy reserves and by putting them online quickly. The company says that it has already operated seven BTC on its Alberta and Ohio sites and plans to keep up to half of its Bitcoin holders while using the rest for operational expansion.
Agriforce aims to switch to 1 exams per second (EH / S) of calculation capacity by T1 2026, positioning itself as an actor at the intersection of the energy markets and decentralized infrastructures.
