District Heating

Technological University of Dublin’s Tallaght campus is now heated by waste warmth from a nearby Amazon data center, an innovative use of AI-driven heat recovery. This initiative, part of a broader trend in Ireland and Europe, transforms data center surplus heat into a decarbonized energy source for district heating networks. While challenges like hardware lifespan and infrastructure scaling exist, projects like this offer a win-win by reducing carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.
