Surplus heat from data centre becomes green district heating
The new plant will be the largest of its kind in Denmark. The project therefore passes several milestones both in terms of size, technology and – especially – green profile. Namely, the power for the data centre comes from renewable energy, and the district heating produced is therefore CO₂ neutral while displacing a similar amount of fossil-generated heat.
The project is a natural extension of the efforts already being made by Fjernvarme Fyn to utilise surplus heat from local industrial companies and to electrify district heating. It has attracted great attention both nationally and internationally due to the many technical breakthroughs. Thus, the facility is also a showcase, where both Danish and foreign visitors can draw inspiration for the green transition.
