Did you know that data centers around the world are currently wasting so much heat that it could warm the city of Stockholm 37 times over? Did you also know that there’s an excellent solution to this problem, which can also reduce the carbon footprint of your data consumption? It’s called T.Loop, a company building ultra-modern data centers in edge locations and using them as energy plants.
Cecilia Hjertzel explains how T. Loop's solution can solve a fast-growing climate problem.
Cecilia Hjertzell, CSO & CMO at T.Loop, grabbed everyone’s attention at the Exponential Solutions Stage at Techarena ZERO when she laid bare the enormous amount of heat currently wasted by data centers worldwide—a problem expected to get much, much worse.
”In just two short years, the figure is expected to rise to 1,000 Terrawatt hours. That is the equivalent energy output of 35- 42 nuclear reactors. All of this energy today is wasted, literally disappearing into thin air,” she said.
This problem – valued at between 50 and 100 billion euros – is what T.Loop has set out to solve.
T.Loop’s impactful solution is to place their Data Energy Centers® in existing buildings and turn them into energy plants that use waste heat to warm the building—while simultaneously reducing CO₂ emissions. This creates a win-win-win situation. For property owners, heating costs can be lowered by up to 30%, rental income can increase, and energy efficiency can improve. T.Loop’s colocation customers benefit from modern data centers in central city locations offering low-carbon data loads. Additionally, since T.Loop can use spare capacity, they can also support the energy grid through grid balancing and peak shaving, creating a highly profitable business model for T.Loop as a data center operator.
