Description

Henrik Lund, a professor of energy planning at Denmark's Aalborg University, has commented on the trend of tech companies using excess heat from data centres to warm local homes. Mr Lund stated that while these data centres may use renewable energy, they still require more energy than if the homes were heated directly by wind turbines. "The data centres themselves are putting pressure on the green transition," he argues.
