Crypto mining at fracking sites does this. The flare gas systems throw hydrocarbons into the atmosphere before the miners arrived, the miners doing a financialized math problem give them the missing incentive to use the energy for the mining computers on site.

Corroborate that with a news source that you happen to like.

Like I mentioned renewable or otherwise wasted energy. This is one of the otherwise wasted energy examples that is a sustainability solution right now, in comparison to wishful thinking.
