[Kazakhstan Plans to Allow Crypto Mining Companies to Use Associated Gas from Oil Fields for Power Generation] Kazakhstan is promoting the use of associated gas from oil fields by crypto mining companies to build their own power stations. This initiative aims to reduce gas flaring, alleviate pressure on the power grid, and increase oil production. In 2024, the country is expected to flare approximately 300 to 340 million cubic meters of associated gas, which, if used for power generation, could produce an estimated 1.2 to 1.3 terawatt-hours of electricity. Kazakhstan's Ministry of Energy and other departments are currently drafting the relevant legal framework. (Source: Euronews)
