AgriFORCE Taps Alberta’s Flared Gas to Power Bitcoin Mining, Expands Modular Compute Strategy
AgriFORCE Growing Systems (NASDAQ: AGRI) has activated its first bitcoin mining and digital compute site in Berwyn, Alberta, marking a strategic shift toward energy-backed decentralized infrastructure.
Powered by stranded natural gas, the site was developed in partnership with BlueFlare Energy and is currently running 120 mining units on 425 kW of energy, generating over 32 PH/s in compute output. A second buildout phase will add 200 kW of capacity, backed by BlueFlare’s real-time emissions monitoring and carbon-tracking systems.
AgriFORCE’s move follows a growing industry trend of monetizing flared gas — a byproduct of fossil fuel extraction — to power crypto mining while lowering emissions and costs.
The company’s broader vision includes a three-part strategy: bitcoin mining, modular computing deployments, and direct energy monetization. This is being accelerated by a new binding agreement to launch two additional Alberta sites — in Oyen and Hinton — with a combined compute capacity of 1.3 MW.
Beyond bitcoin, AgriFORCE plans to support AI inference workloads and industrial edge computing, reinforcing the site’s relevance as a multipurpose infrastructure hub.
So far, the company has mined seven BTC across sites in Alberta and Ohio. It intends to retain roughly 50% of its mined bitcoin, using the rest to fund growth.
AgriFORCE has set a goal of reaching 1 exahash per second (EH/s) in compute power by Q1 2026, positioning itself as a key player in energy-efficient digital infrastructure.
