That would be Giga Energy.[1] They co-locate containerized Bitcoin mining systems with wells that produce excess natural gas and methane, burn the gas for power, and export bitcoin. Really.

There is one like that which runs compute (read Nvidia cards).

That would kinda suck as a user as these things are notorious for switching on and off as gas is available (which isn't constant). For bitcoin miners that doesn't matter, but if I was running a long compute job...
