Tether & Adecoagro Launch Renewable Bitcoin Mining
Tether and Adecoagro team up in Brazil to deploy renewable‑powered Bitcoin mining using 230 MW clean energy capacity.
- Collaboration will repurpose 230 MW renewable energy for Bitcoin mining.
- The project shifts excess electricity from spot market to mining.
- Aims to promote sustainable crypto practices in South America.
Tether, the issuer of the largest stablecoin in the world, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with South America’s leading sustainable agriculture firm, Adecoagro. The two companies are partnering to pilot a renewable energy‑powered Bitcoin mining operation in Brazil, a move aimed at increasing the sustainability of crypto operations.
Renewable Energy Source and Capacity
Adecoagro owns and operates an impressive 230 MW of renewable energy assets across Brazil. These include hydropower, solar, and biomass installations. Under the terms of the MoU, a portion of this clean energy—formerly sold on the open spot market—will instead power Bitcoin mining rigs. This will allow mining operations to benefit from stable, eco‑friendly electricity, while also offering Adecoagro new revenue diversification opportunities.
Benefits and Strategic Goals
This collaboration aligns with the growing trend toward “green crypto mining.” By using renewables, the project minimizes environmental impact compared to traditional fossil‑fuel‑based mining. For Tether, it demonstrates a commitment to corporate sustainability and energy responsibility. Adecoagro, meanwhile, gains a partner to better leverage excess power generation and buffer against volatility in spot electricity prices.
Additionally, by tapping into renewable energy reserves, the mining initiative strengthens Brazil’s position in the global Bitcoin mining landscape. It may also serve as a model for future renewable‑powered crypto projects in Latin America.
