Data-Center Farming: Exploring the Potential of Industrial Symbiosis in a Subarctic Region
As our world becomes increasingly digitalized, data centers as operational bases for these technologies lead to a consequent increased release of excess heat into the surrounding environment. This paper studies the challenges and opportunities of industrial symbiosis between data centers’ excess hea...
