Summary
Projected growth in data centres will produce enough waste heat to warm millions of homes in the UK by 2035 – if the infrastructure is in place to take advantage of it, according to new research.
The analysis comes from EnergiRaven, a UK company with expertise in waste heat, and Viegand Maagøe, a consulting firm that advises on ESG and sustainability.
What’s needed to capitalise on this major source of low-cost home heating are the “heat highways” needed to capture waste heat from the next generation of data centres. The research appears to show that these facilities could supply enough heat for at least 3.5 million homes by 2035.
