Marathon Digital Holdings, a crypto mining company, has recently announced a partnership with digital assets infrastructure firm Zero Two to establish a large-scale immersion Bitcoin mining facility in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n
This joint venture will be located in Mina Zayed and Masdar City in the United Arab Emirates and will consist of two mining sites with a total capacity of 250 megawatts. To power these facilities, Marathon and Zero Two plan to utilize excess energy from Abu Dhabi’s grid, aiming to enhance the base load and sustainability of the operation.<\/p>\n
Crypto mining has historically faced difficulties in Abu Dhabi due to the region’s desert climate, which is known for its average annual temperature of around 28 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit).<\/p>\n
Marathon Digital acknowledged the feasibility concerns and revealed that they have collaborated to develop a specialized immersion solution for cooling the mining rigs at the proposed facilities. This indicates the adoption of a liquid-cooling approach to address environmental conditions.<\/p>\n
\nWe are excited to share details of our new #Bitcoin<\/a> mining sites in the UAE. Owned and operated via a joint venture with Zero Two, this initiative marks the first large-scale immersion Bitcoin mining operations in the Middle East. Learn more: https:\/\/t.co\/vFROdM6urR<\/a><\/p>\n
