A modular platform that takes the gas oilfields would otherwise burn — and turns it into electricity, computation, and verified carbon reductions. Deployed in weeks, not years.
Each cubic meter of associated petroleum gas is metered, combusted, and linked to a verifiable reduction ton under Verra's VCS framework. The output is threefold: emissions abated, low-cost power generated, and digital assets produced onsite. No pipelines. No grid-tie. No waiting.
Globally, 142 billion cubic metres of associated gas is flared each year — a persistent byproduct of oil extraction that releases roughly 400 million metric tons of CO₂ annually, alongside unburned methane with a 20-year warming potential eighty times that of carbon dioxide.
MIMESIS intervenes at the wellhead. Raw gas is conditioned, routed to modular generators, and converted into electricity that powers containerised computing deployed metres from the pad. What was combusted at zero value becomes an input to an industrial process.
And the routine flaring of associated gas has been charging against it for a hundred years.
Flaring is incomplete. Field studies in the Permian have found that roughly one in ten flares burn poorly or go out entirely, releasing raw methane directly to atmosphere.
The World Bank's Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative and the Global Methane Pledge have set direction. They have not, in the aggregate, moved volumes. The IEA notes that flaring sits at levels comparable to a decade ago. Regulation is tightening: measurement now demands ±3–5% accuracy, and penalties are being applied. Operators are exposed to compliance risk on the one hand and lost commercial value on the other. Both conditions are correctable by the same instrument.
Each site is a microgrid: gas treatment, generation, compute, and metering, assembled as standard ISO-container blocks.
A bespoke conditioning skid scrubs, dries and cools raw associated gas — tolerating H₂S, water, and compositional drift. Spark-ignited engines then combust 95–99% of the methane content, operating 24/7 with remote auto-start and multi-unit redundancy.
Ruggedised ISO-container server halls placed on the pad itself. Sand and dust filtration, closed-loop hydro cooling in hot climates, and weather-sealed enclosures allow high-density compute to run alongside hydrocarbon infrastructure.
Phase one runs ASIC mining to monetise stranded power. The same modules accept GPU and FPGA accelerators for AI inference and training, and can export surplus electricity to proximate loads. Workload mix shifts with market and regulatory conditions.
Continuous metering of gas volume, composition, and generator exhaust produces an auditable emissions record. Avoided methane is calculated against a documented flaring baseline and certified to Verra's VCS. Issued credits are tokenised 1-for-1 via custodial immobilisation.
Associated petroleum gas produced alongside crude at the wellhead. Otherwise flared or vented.
Liquids, H₂S, and contaminants removed. Gas brought to engine-grade spec in a conditioning skid.
Spark-ignited gensets convert methane to power at 95–99% combustion efficiency. Exhaust metered.
Electricity feeds onsite containerised compute: ASIC miners today, GPU/AI accelerators in phase two.
Avoided methane quantified against baseline, certified under Verra VCS, issued and tokenised for market.
Revenue from Bitcoin mining in phase one; high-performance AI inference and training contracts thereafter. Workload flexes in response to market conditions and local regulatory context.
Verified CRTs sold on the voluntary market, benchmarked against a documented flaring baseline. Near-complete methane abatement generates a high-integrity, third-party audited credit stream.
Surplus generation delivered to adjacent loads — proximate wells, camps, or the grid where interconnection exists — smoothing revenue across crypto-market volatility.
Every MIMESIS pad is instrumented from inlet to stack. Continuous measurement of gas volume, methane concentration, and combustion efficiency produces the evidence base for Verra's Verified Carbon Standard.
A documented flaring baseline is established for each site. The difference between baseline methane destruction and actual combusted methane — adjusted for incremental CO₂ output and weighted by GWP — yields the issuable credit.
Once minted, credits are immobilised in a custodial registry account and represented 1-for-1 as on-chain tokens. This preserves registry integrity while exposing liquidity and traceability to the voluntary market.
Combustion is the first instrument. It is not the last.
MIMESIS is developing methane pyrolysis capacity — a thermal process that splits CH₄ into hydrogen gas and solid carbon, without the CO₂ emissions intrinsic to burning. The hydrogen is a low-carbon fuel or feedstock. The solid carbon, produced as carbon black, has industrial markets in tyres, rubber and electrode manufacture.
Integrating pyrolysis widens the MIMESIS envelope: the same captured gas produces power, compute, credits — and now hydrogen and a saleable solid product. The mitigation mission extends; the revenue base diversifies.
