How streaming videos gives a Danish city hot water

Lisa Miles

Here's an interesting video about a city in Denmark that uses heat generated by datacentres to heat hot water which is then used to heat homes. 

Apparently 'district heating' is a common concept in Scandinavia so why can't it be used here in the UK too? Or is it already?

  • There is some district heating in the UK, but not much. District heating, when it does exist, is generally hated by the users who invariably consider that they are paying too much.

    In the UK, a better use of this waste heat might be premises that use a great volume of hot water, hotels, hospitals, industrial laundries, heated bathing pools, and large greenhouses come to mind.
