Energy waste
Waste heat reusage is a great potential and already reality in Finland. Most cities in Finland have district heating network and by feeding excess heat from data center to city heating network you can make additional profit and lower your net CO2 footprint and have better ERF (Energy reusage factor).
District Heating
Finland has a district heating system in almost in every town. This creates an excellent possibility to re-use waste heat from Data Centers.
For example, Google’s data center in Hamina collaborates with the local district heating provider to utilize the heat from its servers to warm homes, schools, and public buildings. This approach not only improves energy efficiency but also supports the local community by providing a sustainable heating solution.
This is an excellent showcase of the ”win win” trade for the waste heat use. In addition of use DCs waste heat as a energy source, they can lower their carbon footprint remarkably.
