Panel: How can building for heat reuse become an economic and practical reality?

This episode will stream live at 12:00pm GMT

Despite its use in the Nordics, widespread heat reuse throughout Europe arguably remains a distant target. In spite of its ability to improve data center circularity and reduce NIMBYISM, it remains marred by challenges, including lack of infrastructure and cost to build. However, with the German Bundestag potentially requiring data centers to reuse a certain amount of heat to build in Germany, could the sector be at a tipping point for heat reuse?

This episode will deep dive into challenges and opportunities coming from heat reuse in the Europe region. What is the economic reality of heat reuse, given that it is more likely to be utilised in the winter months? What are the possibilities for heat reuse in data centers in more remote regions? Speakers will discuss how heat reuse can enable data centers to achieve their net zero and sustainability goals, and what the sector can do to prepare for heat reuse enablement.
