Can a tiny island in the Caribbean lead the world in renewable energy innovation?In this audio version of our research paper Sparking a Green Revolution in Montserrat by our Chief Mining Officer Nick Bowick, we explore how Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory still recovering from a volcanic disaster, stands on the brink of an energy revolution. Despite having abundant geothermal and solar resources, the island remains almost entirely dependent on imported diesel.But, by integrating a Bitcoin mine into its energy grid, Montserrat could unlock a reliable secondary revenue stream that transforms its energy economics and finally gets its long-delayed geothermal plant off the ground.You'll learn:Why Montserrat’s energy system is so fragile and expensiveHow stranded renewable energy creates both a challenge and an opportunityThe role of Bitcoin mining in monetising wasted energy, and how this model is working in places like Bhutan, Ireland and GermanyWhat a 0.5MW mine could generate in revenue and how it could help Montserrat go nearly 100% renewableOwnership and funding models that balance risk, resilience and community benefitThis is a practical, solutions-focused paper about energy sovereignty, economic development and climate action, with lessons that go far beyond the Caribbean.📄 Read the full written paper here:👉  Sparking a Green Revolution in MontserratTo find out more about Bitcoin Policy UK's work and how you can get involved, visit:https://bitcoinpolicy.uk/
