Background

In 2013, PRTI founded and patented a thermal demanufacturing process that transforms tires into usable energy (gas, oil, and fuel) and steel. In partnership with Standard American Mining, PRTI developed a cryptocurrency mining facility in 2017 to utilize the energy (syngas) produced from the tire demanufacturing process. Since then, the facility has come under the management of Miningstore, which operates it remotely from Texas. The facility exclusively mines Ethereum using 500 KW of power harnessed from a wind turbine that is propelled by the heat created from burning the syngas (methane) from PRTI's patented demanufacturing process. PRTI has plans to expand the operation to have an 8-10 MW microgrid onsite.
