Agriforce Growth Systems (Agri) is a small agricultural company that has recently adopted Bitcoin mining emission Its first bitcoin
The mining and digital calculation site in Berwyn, Alberta, uses stranded natural gas to power 120 mining machines.
Developed with Blueflare Energy, the site marks the company’s first operating milestone in its broader strategy, turning off-grid gas into an energy-backed digital infrastructure.
The Berwyn facility currently maps 425 kW, with a calculated power of more than 32 tons per second (pH/s). The second phase under development will add 200 kW of capacity. Blueflare’s systems monitor emissions and provide real-time telemetry through its proprietary OS and carbon tracking technologies.
Miners want to use cheaper energy to offset some of the profit squeeze that hurts the industry, a way miners seek to use cheaper energy to mine Bitcoin. For several years, burning gas Bitcoin mining has been a trend for miners to waste excess gas when oil and gas companies drill for fossil fuels.

This deployment is part of a three-pronged strategy for agricultural area: mining bitcoin, building modular computing infrastructure and directly monetizing energy.
This approach gains appeal through a new combination consistency between agriculture and blue fruit to extend the operation to two other Alberta locations in Oyen and Hinton. These deployments combined can add 1.3 MW of naturally driven computing to support tasks beyond Bitcoin mining – such as AI model inference and edge computing for industrial equipment.
The Agriforce model is avoiding grid dependencies by mining unused energy reserves and keeping them online quickly. The company said it has mined seven BTC on its Alberta and Ohio websites and plans to retain half of its Bitcoin holdings while using the rest for operational expansion.
Agriforce aims to scale 1 exahash per second (EH/s) of Compute capacity in Q1, positioning itself as a participant at the intersection of energy markets and decentralized infrastructure.
