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?

  • Pimlico used to be heated from Battersea power station but most modern power stations are on the coast and waste the heat into an estuary or sea which is really unnecessary if there is a block of flats that needs heating nearby to sell the warm water to.
