Compass Mining Partners With 360 Energy on Off-Grid Site in Wyoming to Repurpose Wasted Natural Gas

The project redeploys older-generation hardware while expanding Compass Mining’s enterprise and institutional capabilities to off-grid solutions

WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Compass Mining, a leading provider of Bitcoin mining infrastructure and services, today announced the launch of its first off-grid natural gas site in Wyoming, developed in partnership with 360 Energy. The site is already running and will be fully energized by the end of September 2025.

The project enables Compass Mining to redeploy earlier-generation hardware, such as the Antminer S19-series machines, extending their lifecycle and turning underutilized machines into productive and profitable assets.

With a total power capacity of 3.3 megawatts (MW), the Wyoming site adds to Compass Mining’s expanding portfolio of directly operated facilities, reinforcing its strategy of vertical integration while diversifying its geographic footprint and energy sources across various power markets. By combining established on-grid operations with new off-grid expertise, Compass Mining is laying the groundwork for future institutional-grade off-grid products.

With global volumes of unused gas burning hitting a record 150 billion cubic meters in 2024, Compass Mining’s Wyoming project demonstrates how monetization of pipeline-constrained natural gas can become one of the most promising innovations in Bitcoin mining, especially as industry economics evolve and require new operational models to stay profitable.

“The future of Bitcoin mining is about turning abundant underutilized energy into productive infrastructure,” says Karoon Mackenchery, Senior Director of Mining Services at Compass Mining. “We believe 360 Energy has solved many of the challenges of off-grid Bitcoin mining. By testing these new models and new markets, we are preparing to extend these innovations to additional sites and increase our offering to institutional clients.”

“We are seeing more producers utilize Bitcoin mining as natural gas offtake,” says Chris Alfano, 360 Energy. “By combining our innovative solutions with Compass Mining’s years of operational excellence, we are proving how Bitcoin mining can directly benefit oil and gas companies with less emissions, increased oil production and new uncorrelated revenue streams.”

HKeyBio Lauched the Most Comprehesive Non-human Primate Autoimmune & Allergic Disease Model Matrix to Redefining Clinical Translation

BOSTON and SUZHOU, China, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HKeyBio, a CRO specializing in preclinical and translational autoimmune-drug development, today announced the launch of HKEY-NHP-MATRIX2.0, a next-generation platform designed to improve the reliability of translating novel autoimmune and allergy therapies from preclinical research to clinical success.

Platform Highlights

  • Broad Primate Disease Model Library
    The platform includes over twenty non-human primate (NHP) models spanning autoimmune and allergic diseases in four major categories: dermatology, respiratory, gastroenterology, and rheumatology. These models include, among others, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE), Sjogren’s Syndrome (SjS), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Systemic Sclerosis (SSc), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Atopic Dermatitis (AD), urticaria, pruritus, Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), Psoriasis (Pso), asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), Ulcerative Colitis (UC), and Crohn’s Disease (CD). www.hkeybio.com 
  • High-Resolution Omics Database
    HKEY-NHP-MATRIX2.0 offers a spatiotemporal single-cell and spatial omics database covering various immune systems and tissues from the primate models. The data enable differentiation of novel therapeutics vs established treatments, precise biomarker discovery, and mechanistic insights. www.hkeybio.com 

Rationale & Advantages

Many rodent models fail to fully replicate human disease biology due to differences in organ structure, molecular and cellular composition, and immune system development. Primate models, by contrast, offer:

  • Closer anatomical and developmental similarity in key organs (e.g. lung branching, epithelial lineages, immune cell distributions) that are central to respiratory, dermatologic, or gastrointestinal pathologies.
  • Barrier and immune system fidelity: primate gut-associated lymphoid tissues, skin barrier structures, and immune cell types are much more like humans; this supports better modeling of barrier disruption, microbiome interactions, immune cell responses, etc.
  • Better modeling of pediatric and early-onset autoimmune/allergic conditions, as immune system ontogeny (thymus development, peripheral tolerance, immune cell diversity) in primates align more closely with humans, especially in infancy.

Impacted Outcomes & Applications

The platform is designed to:

  • Improve predictive accuracy in preclinical to clinical translation, reducing the risk of clinical failure due to species differences.
  • Enhance the discovery and validation of clinical biomarkers.
  • Distinguish subtle differences in mechanism or efficacy between novel agents and existing drugs targeting the same pathways.
  • Support precision medicine through customizable data services, enabling more tailored approaches in therapy development.

Conclusion

HKEY-NHP-MATRIX2.0 represents a significant step in enhancing translational rigor for autoimmune and allergy drug discovery. By combining a comprehensive primate disease model resource with deep omics profiling, the platform offers improved mechanistic understanding, more reliable efficacy predictions, and stronger biomarker development — all of which can help bridge the gap between preclinical findings and clinical success.

HKeyBio is an industry-leading CRO specializing in efficacy evaluation and translational research in autoimmune diseases – focused, expert, and dedicated to empowering autoimmune drug innovation. For more information, please visit: www.hkeybio.com
