After announcing a planned $333 million investment in the project in 2022, Nasdaq-listed Riot Platforms is wrapping up development of Phase 1 of the Bitcoin mining facility. When fully developed, the project is slated to have a total of one gigawatt of capacity. Development of Phase 2 has already begun at the 265-acre site, the company said Monday.
Environmental disasters like Dallas' former "Shingle Mountain" may one day be a thing of the past, thanks to new recycling technology from GAF. The company is building its first commercial-scale shingle recycling facility in Corsicana, in an effort to divert the 90% of asphalt shingle waste that it says goes directly into landfills.
“In Texas, you’re in a hail belt, so roofs don’t reach their life expectancy for asphalt shingles," GAF CEO Jim Schnepper told Dallas Innovates. "So they get torn off and they get put into the dump at a rate that's shocking."
Colorado-based Riot Blockchain, one of the world's largest publicly traded bitcoin mining companies, announced plans to develop a 265-acre site in Corsicana—about an hour south of Dallas—adding to its growing presence in the Lone Star State.
At full capacity, the development is expected to have one gigawatt of capacity—enough energy to power around 750,000 households.
The 8,400-square-foot facility, located at Corsicana's Dallas offices, is at the heart of the mattress maker's new growth plan. It's what the CEO calls "a research and innovation effort that is unsurpassed by anyone competing."
