Sure, the flare gas sites that are (or arent) connected to the grid are exactly a case where bitcoin mining is taking from no other use, and actually reducing very quantifiable pollution There are likely several gigawatts of this kind of energy in north america and the amount of energy used this way and for mining in total will continue to increase without causing more pollution This is due completely to market forces as well, which is worth saying because more mining will migrate to this without it being some altruistic response to environmental outcry
