Greater Copenhagen Green Deal Hackathon: Waste heat from data centers

During this hackathon we will explore the challenges and possibilities for utilizing excess heat from data centers in the Öresund region. We will learn from real examples of how to organise the work to recover waste heat in previous projects, with experiences from both Denmark and Sweden. We will also learn more about the challenges from our challenge owners, as seen from a sustainability perspective, when constructing new data centers.
