How can this be carbon-reducing? That sounds like a dubious marketing claim.

  TL;DR: we run data centers on-site at oil wells and take natural gas that would otherwise be flared (it can't be economically transported as natural gas in a pipeline or turned into electricity and transported) and combust it completely. Methane is a significantly more potent greenhouse gas than CO2, so it ends up being a net reduction in emissions vs what's currently happening. https://www.crusoeenergy.com/digital-flare-mitigation https://www.crusoeenergy.com/digital-flare-mitigation has some more information.

    Is flare combustion more incomplete than your generation?

    on the other hand, does that mean you're obligated to be in oil producing countries? how does the geopolitics of that work?
