Data Center Frontier
Summary
In the ever-expanding landscape of data centers, sustainability is no longer a mere buzzword. It’s a pressing necessity. As the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies continues to skyrocket, power requirements are expanding exponentially. With this growth, hyperscalers and colocation companies are under increasing pressure to build new data centers in a more environmentally friendly way.
Data center heat reuse is another innovative approach gaining traction worldwide, including requirements by legislation in some EU countries. By capturing and redirecting high-grade heat from servers to different heating networks. The feasibility of heat reuse depends highly on design and planning. In many cases, external organizations must be involved from the design onset. While proximity to urban areas is required for district heating, advancements in high-density chips and the required liquid cooling have increased output heat presenting opportunities for more data centers to implement this sustainable practice.
