Mining on gas generation: beautiful figures and harsh reality

Amid tightening regulations and energy constraints, the crypto industry is searching for new ways to stay afloat. One trendy direction is mining using gas generation. At first glance, it seems like the perfect compromise: utilize otherwise flared gas, generate energy on-site, launch mining operations — all under the label of “environmentally friendly”. But is it really as green as it seems?

Gas Generation — Not a Salvation, but a Delay
The idea is simple: use associated petroleum gas (APG), which is usually burned off in flares, to power mobile mining farms. This allows oil companies to reduce emissions and seemingly “recycle” waste. However, the reality is:

• Gas generation still follows a carbon-based model — CO₂ emissions do not disappear.

• Setting up the equipment requires capital investment, licenses, and infrastructure.

• This approach is inaccessible to most regular users — it is essentially a corporate model.

• Most importantly — this scheme does not solve the core problem of mining: insatiable energy consumption, often at the expense of the population and the environment.

Ordinary People Pay for the Attractive Numbers
In countries where such projects are already being implemented — including some regions of the CIS — the growing energy consumption from mining affects household tariffs. Gradually, governments are introducing restrictions and even outright bans, as has already happened in:

• China (total ban)

• Certain regions of Russia

• Norway preparing a temporary ban

• Iran introduced strict quotas

Mining is becoming a privilege of the few, accessible only to those who can afford dozens of megawatts of power.

X1 EcoChain — A Blockchain That Solves Problems Instead of Creating Them

In light of these issues, X1 EcoChain offers an alternative that changes the very nature of participating in the crypto economy.

Why X1 EcoChain is a Revolution, Not a Compromise:

- Minimal Energy Consumption
Physical nodes of X1 EcoChain consume only 3 watts per hour. No overheating, no noise, no cooling. They can be launched from anywhere in the world — even in countries where mining is banned.

True Environmentally Friendliness
X1 EcoChain is the first blockchain built on Web4 principles: no need for data centers, no centralized computing farms, no carbon footprint.

Open to Everyone
Unlike “gas generators,” X1 EcoChain allows anyone to become part of the network — through node purchases, testnet participation, quests, and ambassador programs. You don’t need millions to be in the blockchain of the future.

A Blockchain Should Build the Future, Not Destroy the Present
While others look for compromises between profit and sustainability, X1 EcoChain is building a system where no compromise is needed. In a world where electricity is becoming more valuable and the climate increasingly unstable, an eco-friendly and accessible blockchain is not a trend — it’s a necessity.

Forget mining on diesel, gas, or coal. The real solution is already here.

X1 EcoChain — the blockchain that breathes with the planet.
