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.”
