EcoDataCenters has announced that it is teaming up with WA3RM to promote circular economy principles by sharing excess heat for large-scale cultivation in fish farms and greenhouses. While others in the industry have already pursued such opportunities within agriculture, it's noted that typically, this is done on a smaller scale, and through the partnership, the two companies hope to "set standards for industrial-scale vegetable and fish farming."
"It is of the utmost importance to also industrialize circular processes on a larger scale rather than only implementing smaller circular systems because of the symbolic value,” said Dan Andersson, CEO of EcoDataCenter.
Meanwhile, Thomas Parker, CEO of WA3RM, commented: “Data centers are generally an under-utilized resource with fantastic potential for bio-based systems like ours, which in Sweden require a lot of heat input and therefore draw much energy as stand-alone operations. Through our collaboration, we can also take significant and essential steps towards making Sweden self-sufficient in several food products."
