Got Co-generator* greenhouse operation powered by a 800kW caterpillar generator
Producing 6400MWH a year of electricity, heating and CO2 for a 8000square meter greenhouse.

Exploring options and potentials for coin mining and hardware.

initial idea is to go for litecoin

Would like to hear opinions here.

Many thanks!

*Cogeneration—also known as combined heat and power, distributed generation, or recycled energy—is the simultaneous production of two or more forms of energy from a single fuel source. Cogeneration power plants often operate at 50 to 70 percent higher efficiency rates than single-generation facilities.

so 6,400,000 kwatts in a year is 17534 kwatts a day or 730 kwatts an hour which makes sense with a 800kwatt generator.

Simplest question what is daily power cost for it?
How many spare kwatts of the 730 an hour can you spare?

if you found old ant miner l3+. and budget 1 kwatt an hour for them running 200 units seems easy. 200 x .5 = 100gh of hash which pays $120 a day

Calculation is correct,
i can use all the power to generate coins Vs sell it to the grid, or do both for x amount of power
cost of electricity to me basically is the LNG cost to feed the generator

trying to dig more into this and figure out if is a good idea that makes sense!

thanks for replying
