参议员泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）介绍了《耀斑法》（Flare Act

该法案称为促进大气释放的排放（FLARE）法案，该法案提议使用在油钻探过程中生产的天然气，并通过税收优势提供激励措施。

Senator Ted Cruz has introduced legislation that would empower the oil and gas industry to repurpose flared gas and use it for activities like mining Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital assets.

参议员特德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）提出了立法，该立法将使石油和天然气行业有能力重新利用爆炸天然气，并将其用于采矿比特币（BTC）和其他数字资产等活动。

The bill, named the Facilitating Lower Atmospheric Released Emissions (FLARE) Act, proposes utilizing natural gas produced during drilling operations and providing incentives through modified tax provisions.

该法案命名为促进大气释放的排放（FLARE）法案，提议利用在钻井过程中生产的天然气，并通过改良的税收规定提供激励措施。

One key provision of the FLARE Act would allow companies to immediately deduct the cost of qualified property, such as equipment used for capturing and processing gas, through permanent full expensing.

《耀斑法》的一项关键规定将允许公司立即扣除合格财产的成本，例如用于捕获和加工天然气的设备，通过永久性全额支出。

Usually, companies can claim a portion of an asset’s cost over several years through depreciation. However, full expensing would allow companies to deduct the entire cost in the year the asset is placed in service.

通常，公司可以通过折旧来索取几年来资产成本的一部分。但是，全额支出将允许公司扣除资产投入使用的一年的全部成本。

According to a statement by Cruz, the bill directly addresses two pressing challenges: significantly reducing oil and gas industry emissions and encouraging the use of America’s vast energy resources for emerging technologies.

根据克鲁兹的一份声明，该法案直接解决了两个紧迫的挑战：大大减少了石油和天然气行业的排放，并鼓励美国在新兴技术中使用大量的能源。

“This legislation brings together two critical policy priorities to support U.S. energy and economic strength,” said Senator Cruz.

克鲁兹参议员说：“这项立法汇集了两个关键的政策优先事项，以支持美国的能源和经济实力。”

“We need to be doing everything we can to reduce emissions and ensure that oil and gas companies have the flexibility they need to quickly deploy new technologies to rapidly reduce emissions.”

“我们需要尽一切可能减少排放，并确保石油和天然气公司具有快速部署新技术以快速减少排放所需的灵活性。”

The FLARE Act also aims to modify federal treatment of digital asset mining infrastructure to support broader energy and environmental objectives.

《耀斑法》还旨在修改联邦对数字资产挖掘基础设施的处理，以支持更广泛的能源和环境目标。

Aligning economic incentives with environmental mitigation efforts is crucial, and the bill does so by enabling permanent full expensing for capital used in flare gas repurposing.

将经济激励措施与环境缓解措施保持一致至关重要，该法案是通过实现用于耀斑天然气重新利用资本的永久全额支出来实现的。

This measure will encourage private investment in the technologies and infrastructure needed to reduce emissions and use stranded energy.

这项措施将鼓励对减少排放和使用滞留能量所需的技术和基础设施的私人投资。

The bill has been referred to the Senate Finance Committee, and further legislative action will determine its progress through Congress.

该法案已转交给参议院财政委员会，进一步的立法行动将决定其通过国会的进步。

Digital asset firms and policy groups have welcomed the proposal. Matthew Sigel, head of digital assets research at VanEck, said:

数字资产公司和政策集团欢迎该提案。 Vaneck数字资产研究负责人Matthew Sigel说：

“Great to see Senator Ted Cruz supporting Bitcoin mining as a new technology and a solution to reduce emissions & unlock stranded energy. The FLARE Act could pave the way for using flared gas more efficiently and sustainably.”

“很高兴看到参议员泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）支持比特币采矿作为一种新技术，并是减少排放和解锁能源的解决方案。《耀斑法》可以为更有效，更可持续地使用炸弹铺平道路。”

Bitcoin miners have increasingly turned to stranded energy sources, including flared gas, to power their operations. By colocating with oil fields, miners can capture gas that would otherwise be burned off and use it to create electricity for proof-of-work consensus networks.

比特币矿工越来越多地转向滞留的能源，包括喇叭形天然气，为其运营提供动力。通过与油田共凝聚，矿工可以捕获否则将被燃烧的气体并用它来创建电力以进行工作证明的共识网络。

This approach also provides flexible load benefits for energy grids, especially in rural and energy-abundant areas.

这种方法还为能源网格提供了灵活的负载优势，尤其是在农村和能源丰富的地区。

Bitcoin mining firm MARA (NASDAQ:MARA) Holdings spoke in favor of the legislation, highlighting the provision for full expensing of infrastructure that captures and repurposes flared gas.

比特币矿业公司Mara（NASDAQ：MARA）HOUSTINGS表示赞成该立法，强调了完全支出基础设施的规定，以捕获和重新利用燃气。

The firm said: “MARA supports legislation that recognizes Bitcoin mining’s role in reducing emissions and unlocking stranded energy. We appreciate Senator Cruz introducing the FLARE Act.”

该公司表示：“玛拉支持承认比特币矿业在减少排放和解锁障碍能源方面的作用的立法。我们感谢克鲁兹参议员引入《耀斑法》。”

The Digital Power Network, a coalition of leading mining and energy firms, issued a formal endorsement of the legislation on its website.

由领先的采矿和能源公司的联盟数字电力网络在其网站上正式认可该立法。

Hailey Miller, director of government relations and public policy at the Digital Power Network, said:

数字电力网络政府关系和公共政策总监海莉·米勒（Hailey Miller）表示：

“This bill is a monumental step forward for the U.S. energy sector and the digital asset industry. By incentivizing the capture of otherwise wasted natural gas, this bill supports grid stability, energy innovation, and the continued growth of sustainable Bitcoin mining in America. We commend Senator Cruz for his leadership in introducing this bill.”

“这项法案是美国能源部门和数字资产行业的巨大一步。通过激励捕获原本浪费的天然气，该法案支持网格稳定性，能源创新以及美国可持续比特币采矿的持续增长。我们赞扬参议员克鲁兹（Cruz）在介绍这项法案方面的领导才能。”

According to the coalition, the legislation is expected to reduce the production of harmful emissions, enhance domestic energy production, improve grid resilience through flexible load response, and expand economic opportunities in rural communities.

该联盟认为，该立法有望减少有害排放的产量，增强国内能源生产，通过灵活的负载响应来提高电网弹性，并扩大农村社区的经济机会。

The bill comes amid signs of improving regulatory clarity for the crypto industry in the U.S., with this proposal adding a positive push by identifying crypto mining as a legitimate industrial use that can transform waste into productive energy.

该法案出现在提高美国加密行业的监管清晰度的迹象之中，该提案通过将加密货币采矿作为合法的工业用途，增加了积极的推动力，可以将废物转化为生产能力。
