VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 13, 2021 / LINK GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES INC. (CSE:LNK)(FRA:LGT)(OTC PINK:LGLOF) ("LINK" or the "Company"), an innovative power and infrastructure solutions provider for Bitcoin mining, and data hosting operations.

In an open letter, Link Global CEO Stephen Jenkins addresses recent concerns:

We at Link Global agree with the concerns about "dirty" Bitcoin mining through coal plants. We should all be concerned about the continued use of coal to generate power for any purpose, not just bitcoin mining.

The digital currency system, and the World Financial System, require an immense amount of energy to operate, whether it is banks running computers 24/7 or Bitcoin operations running computers 24/7. The need for reliable energy is endless.

LINK GLOBAL is actively taking steps to forge an innovative way forward by following the 3R's of recycling.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

How do we reduce?

As previously announced Link Global is in a binding LOI for energy-reducing IP that will reduce the consumption of power required by over 25% in bitcoin mining and has application outside of that, in data centers, which consume over double the amount of energy than Bitcoin mining does.

Link is also involved with Neptune Digital to build a hybrid site that profiles the use of Solar, Wind and natural gas to provide a novel solution to the mining community.

How do we reuse?

Link Global reuses old dormant gas facilities, potentially leaking methane into the environment. Methane is a greenhouse gas ("GHG") that is 80 times more dangerous to the environment than carbon dioxide in terms of its GHG emissions contribution.

Beneficial methane destruction has proven quantifiable benefits recognized by agencies worldwide as a viable method to contain GHG's.

How do we recycle?

Link is working on solutions to use waste heat to serve tertiary purposes such as low-grade energy for greenhouses and provide further energy opportunities such as Organic Rankine Cycle electricity. The low-temperature heat is converted into useful work, that can itself be converted into electricity.

These innovations are encouraged by the culture of the bitcoin mining industry. We all have the same goals; clean air and clean water, leading to a new age for digital currency mining.
