Russia is a leading gas power in the world with huge oil reserves
Follow Kommersant, the Russian-language newspaper announced that a secret September 7 letter between the Central Bank of Russia and other government agencies such as the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Digital Development was negotiating whether the oil and gas industry was wasting the use that is Gas to power cryptocurrency mining centers. An official acceptance is not yet available.
Russian authorities are under pressure to rethink their approach to the crypto industry as a whole, as many miners have left China to move to other countries such as Kazakhstan and the United States, causing Russia to lose many potential customers who will buy a lot of electricity and pay a lot of taxes.
The Kommersant report says that the idea of using gas to mine cryptocurrencies came from market participants and one of the largest Russian oil companies looking to scale up a crypto mining project.
Alexander Zhuravlev, chairman of the Committee for Legal Support of the Digital Economy of the Russian Bar Association, emphasized that Russian oil and gas operators can use this to create data centers or to make their overcapacity available to investors from China, where mining has been practiced forbidden.
