Data centres require huge amounts of energy—but reusing their waste heat to warm our homes is a massive opportunity. Infomaniak shows us how it's done.
Data centres consume huge amounts of energy – and generate plenty of heat in the process. In Sweden, thousands of households are already heated with server heat. Could this be a potential source of clean energy?
It sounds too good to be true. But more and more venues and companies are finding ways to turn body heat into usable energy.
What if the heat from, say, server farms or subway tunnels can be used to warm homes? Waste heat recovery technologies seek to close the energy loop.
Fancy swimming in an eco-friendly pool, heated using the waste energy used to produce your favourite animated movie?
Solar power, heat pumps and waste heat - renewable energies are readily available. The former Pfaff factory site is being used to test what the climate-neutral neighbourhood of the future will look like.
Data centres threaten the energy transition, drain water resources and harm human health. Can we slow their growth before it's too late?
Data centre energy consumption is already high—thanks to AI, it’s set to skyrocket. We talked to Dr Ralph Hintemann about potential solutions.
Researchers want to use the "SOL-AI" AI system to produce more efficient materials for photovoltaic systems. It's trained on a huge data set and can generate new materials based on the required properties.
