Denmark: Energy Cluster Denmark and Aalborg University to work together for heat reuse project

Energy Cluster Denmark, Aalborg University, Heatflow, and R&R Consult have teamed up on a data center heat reuse project in Denmark which seeks to reduce power consumption, cool data center servers CO2-neutrally, and send surplus heat to the district heating network and local buildings.

Paw Mortensen, director and co-founder of Heatflow, said: "The projection on data center power consumption is enormous - we are most likely talking a factor of three within the next twenty years. And with the AI ​​calculations, which are coming to an even greater extent than before, consumption will increase even more. Therefore, we see significant market potential in offering alternative cooling solutions."

Mortenson added: "The collaboration with Aalborg University and Energy Cluster Denmark has been unique. We have seen a formula for how to achieve an innovation that makes a difference in a relatively short time.”
