Turning Stranded Gas Into Bitcoin & Data Center Power

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, Stuart Turley talks with Mark Lancaster about solving the stranded gas challenge by turning wasted natural gas into energy for Bitcoin mining and data centers. Lancaster explains how his company provides fast, scalable natural gas generators, which cut project timelines and reduce emissions. They discuss the impact of Biden-era policies, grid backup requirements for data centers, and how Bitcoin miners help oil producers monetize gas. Lancaster also highlights investment opportunities in energy infrastructure, including portable LNG, with scarcity driving demand across the oil, gas, and power sectors.I had an absolute blast talking with Mark, and we have another podcast scheduled for recording in a week with Steve Reese to discuss the impact on the United States grid. I learned a great deal and look forward to next week's interview.
