Crusoe’s DFM systems are deployed directly to oil fields to convert excess natural gas into electricity used to power modular data centers.

Highlights

  • Under the agreement with XCL, Crusoe will add 6 million standard cubic feet per day of DFM capacity.
  • Once Crusoe’s equipment at XCL is running at full capacity, it is expected to reduce CO2e emissions by up to 273,000 tons per year, equivalent to taking 60,000 cars off the road for a year.
  • The project is projected to bring 100+ jobs consisting of both short and long term construction and operational employment opportunities to the Uinta Basin.

“We’re excited to extend Crusoe’s positive environmental impact into the Uinta Basin, and to significantly expand our capacity to reduce methane emissions,” said Cully Cavness, Crusoe’s Co-Founder and President. “This collaboration with XCL will help to advance Crusoe’s mission to align the future of computing with the future of the climate.”

“XCL is focused on providing abundant, low-cost and reliable energy that is developed responsibly within our communities,” said Blake McKenna, XCL’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “This partnership with Crusoe fits that strategy by implementing cutting-edge technology that reduces emissions and supports XCL’s continued growth.”

Crusoe currently has more than 120 modular DFM data centers deployed throughout the United States, which reduced waste natural gas by more than 4 billion cubic feet in 2022. In addition to reducing energy waste by creating a beneficial use for the natural gas onsite, Crusoe’s technology achieves a combustion efficiency of up to 99.9% (versus an average of 91.1% for flares), thus reducing methane emissions approximately 99% and carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by up to 68.6%.
