Crusoe's core values

Think Like a Mountaineer

At Crusoe, operations are like climbing a mountain and you must become an operational mountaineer. We're not just talking about a day hike in the foothills on a sunny afternoon, we are climbing Mt. Everest.

Your goals are achievable, but require intense preparation, accurate forecasting, always thinking ahead, and mastery of your tools. Climbing a mountain is not a sprint, it requires consistent endurance and anticipation for challenges that lie around the corner.

• Intense preparation
• Safety first, second and third
• Mastery of your tools
• Endure the expedition

Cultivate an Idea Meritocracy

At Crusoe our ideas are always bigger than our egos. We constantly pursue iterative improvements to the status quo to find new ways of unlocking value. Our greatest ideas are strengthened through vigorous debate and a persistent focus on finding ways to make them better.

• Challenge ideas. Respect people.
• Find the better solution

Relentless Commitment to Resource Efficiency

At Crusoe, we are focused on doing more with less. We are driven by making a material difference in the human footprint on the environment and making oil companies better. Just as Robinson Crusoe made efficient use of his resources while stranded on a desert island, we find innovative ways to make the most of what we have.

• Make oil companies better
• Find treasure in trash and opportunity in the margin
• Kill inefficiency with invention

Tap into the Collective Genius

Our collective knowledge draws from a diverse set of experiences and expertise. We are solving big problems that have never been solved before where there are no experts or tour guides. By tapping into our collective genius, we will push the bounds of human innovation and unlock new potential for the world.

• Know the strengths of others
• Level up your team

Be and Become Your Best Self

At Crusoe, you will be challenged to do the best work of your entire life. You will continually be pushed to break through to new levels of personal achievement and grow into the greatest version of yourself.

• Always be learning
• Play to your strengths
• Seek out feedback from others

Energy Solutions

How we reduce the environmental impact of computing while getting access to abundant energy.

Digital Renewable Optimization™ (DRO)

By bringing our computing workloads to the source of renewable energy production, like wind, solar and geo-thermal, we are able to both reduce costs and power our computing workloads with on-site carbon free power resources.

Digital Flare Mitigation™ (DFM)

Crusoe's Digital Flare Mitigation system is an innovative low-cost solution that captures wasted natural gas from the oil field and converts it into electricity to power advanced, modular data centers co-located onsite.

The energy supply and demand problem: why DFM™ and DRO™ matter

• Demand for energy-intensive compute is expected to exceed 38GW by 2030 (DigitalBridge 2023).
• 144 billion cubic feet of natural gas was flared in 2021 (World Bank 2022).
• More than 8% of the world's electricity will be consumed by data centers in 2030 vs 1% in 2020 (IEA 2022).
• Data centers consumed 690 million megawatt hours in 2021, with about 17% of that total computing demand coming from digital currency mining.
• Renewable energy production is asynchronous with power demand leading to curtailment, congestion, & negative pricing.
• The transmission infrastructure needed to capture & fully utilize all the renewable energy generated is lagging.

Benefits of DRO™

Renewable

Improving the economics of renewable energy assets through creative commercial structures that minimize downside risks while offering upside in scarcity pricing environments

Co-located

Helping rebalance the local transmission infrastructure by bringing load to the generation source and reducing curtailment

Efficient

Reducing transmission losses (on the order of 5% in the U.S. and higher in other regions) between generation and load.

Benefits of DFM™

1 Crusoe DFM-powered GPU reduces emissions by ~ 4.4 CO2e metric tons per year

Cost effective

Crusoe's DFM technology provides operators with a cost-effective solution to reduce methane emissions resulting from natural gas flaring during oil production

Innovative

Crusoe's DFM system is an innovative low-cost solution that captures wasted natural gas from the oil field and converts it into electricity to power advanced, modular data centers co-located onsite

Environmentally friendly

Crusoe's DFM systems are deployed to oil well pads where pipeline capacity is limited or unavailable, to mitigate the environmental impacts of oil production by reducing flaring and methane emissions
