This collaboration between atNorth and Selected Group highlights a novel approach to sustainable development by repurposing data center waste heat for agricultural purposes, potentially setting a new standard for industrial symbiosis.
## Catalyst Analysis: Data Center Heat Reuse for Sustainable Agriculture This partnership between atNorth, a Nordic high-density colocation provider, and Selected Group, a platform for sustainable infrastructure, aims to address Danish food security challenges. By reusing surplus heat generated by atNorth's DEN02 data center, Selected Group will power a substantial greenhouse development. This initiative is designed to facilitate year-round local production of fresh fruits and vegetables, thereby decreasing the nation's dependence on imported produce, particularly during colder months.
The project underscores atNorth's strategy of integrating heat reuse into its data center designs. The integration of digital infrastructure with local food production demonstrates how waste heat can contribute to national sustainability targets, promote circular economy concepts, and foster more resource-efficient development. The first phase of the greenhouse development is slated for completion in Q3 2028, with plans for the project to scale in conjunction with the DEN02 data center's expansion.
