Harnessing waste heat from UK data centres to warm residential homes and businesses will stimulate the low carbon heat market and help the government achieve its 2035 net zero target, according to Aman Chahal of TaperedPlus.
The Stockton-on-Tees business has been involved in a European data centre project, which is diverting its surplus heat to nearby homes.
It is estimated that energy intensive data centres with the power of 100MW are capable of heating around 80,000 homes, with the UK ranked third in the world for data centres, which stood at 456 in 2022.
