Data Center Frontier
Summary
Data centers have transformed the digital world, processing massive amounts of information at high speeds. Nearly 100% of electrical energy consumed in the process is converted to heat, which must be removed to prevent IT equipment from overheating.
Given the energy consumption of data centers, this heat is significant. The International Energy Agency reported that data centers used 1.5% of the world's electricity in 2024, with expectations that this figure will more than double by 2030. Traditionally, this heat is rejected to the atmosphere. Fortunately, we can recover this heat, turning it from waste to resource.
