The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA), the agricultural regulator for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), announced the ban on the use of agricultural land for crypto mining.
Breaks will face a 100,000 AED Fine ($ 27,229), and ADAFSA suspends municipal services, confiscate hardware mining, and disconnect the farm from the electrical grid, according to Tuesday announcement.
ADAFSA said the use of the farm for crypto mining conflicts with “maintenance” regional policies and overthrowing existing land use provisions.
“Such activities are falling out of the scope of the permitted use of the economic use of the authority and not allowed in the fields,” he said.

Some research suggests crypto mining can help with environmental efforts
Crypto mining is a highly competitive business with narrow income margins, encouraging miners Find the cheapest sources of energy To reduce variable costs.
Renewable forms of energy such as hydroelectric power, geothermal power, or runoff energy from industrial processes such as preventing excess energy from gas field Contribute more than 50% of energy Previously at the mine of bitcoin (Btc) in 2023.

In August 2024 the researchers published a Paper Entitled “a joint landfill gas-to-energy and bitcoin mining framework,” outlining how proof-of-work mining (POW) I -Convert the Mitein’s energy into available energy.
Researchers have reviewed landfill-gas-to-energy (LFGTE) systems, which absorb methane gases from waste to landfills to electricity, thus observing the harmful greenhouse gas and keeping it in the environment.
These discoveries boast preceding research papers, including “Bitcoin and the transfer of energy: from risk to chance,” Na -Published In 2023, who argued that mining could Reduce up to 8% of global leaks by 2030.
Despite this, critics continue to argue that Minings poses ecological risks. US lawmakers have made many attempts to obtain the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to pass the regulations to tighten mining activity.
Such regulations include provisions to reduce air pollution, water, and greenhouse gas leaks under existing US regulations, in conjunction with newer regulations that target noise pollution from mining facilities.
