Summary
A new study published in Sustainability warns that the booming growth of artificial intelligence and cloud computing could double global data center energy consumption by 2030. However, researchers argue that a key technology, waste heat recovery (WHR), could transform these digital energy giants into models of environmental sustainability.
By using heat pumps, energy storage, and advanced heat exchange systems, the waste heat generated from servers can be upgraded and reused for space heating, domestic hot water, or even electricity generation. When connected to local district heating networks, this recovered heat can reduce urban carbon emissions while offsetting operating costs.
