Harnessing excess heat, how Data centers support sustainable communities

Data centers are the backbone of our digital world, but high energy use and waste heat present sustainability challenges. By reusing the excess heat, we can turn this byproduct into avaluable energy source, helping to reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency, and support local communities. This sustainable approach not only minimizes environmental impact but also aligns with the growing demand for a greener digital transformation, ensuring that data centers contribute positively to our energy landscape.

Why Scandinavian Data Centers

Our aim is to create the best possible outcome per allocated MW in terms of climate impact, societal benefit, and risk adjusted economic returns.

At Scandinavian Data Centers, we build resilient, high-capacity data centers that seamlessly integrate into a broader ecosystem. In collaboration with our sister company, Scandinavian Energy Centers, we optimize synergies between data storage, energy efficiency, and the reuse of excess heat. Together, we drive the green transition by supporting IT businesses, energy providers, and municipalities, ensuring sustainable and future-proof infrastructure. Our aim is to set the circular standard.

Societal Benefits of a Scandinavian Data Center Establishment

Our vision is for the data center to become the energy, data and heat node of our communities.

Energy

Battery Energy Storage Solutions (BESS) and UPS can both help stabilize the national and local power grids. The BESS can further strengthen the data centers resilience.

As the power grids in the Nordics are generally highly stable, the data centers back up power can support the grid with capacity at peak utilization and by doing so become part of the green transition instead of exasperating the shortage of power.

Heat

As one of the very few data center companies to design our data centers on the back of the district heating grids capacity to utilize our waste heat, we are striving to create the world’s first carbon negative regional edge data center platform.

By optimally making use of both low density and high density IT work loads, we can together with our partners help both heat our communities and contribute to making them more self-reliant.

In a few notable cases, we can become an entire cities base heat load generating for instance all hot showers year-round from our data centers.

Fiber Connectivity

Acting as onramps to the ever increasing in speed and scope fiber highways, our data center establishments allow for carrier and IT platform neutral hubs for local and non-local companies to help manage their own IT and data operations.

Society

Lowering the costs of heating, strengthening local food production and thereby creating entry level jobs, but perhaps most importantly lowering the amount of carbon emissions heating our homes, a data center can contribute to many parts of society.
