While wasted heat represents four times the global solar energy production, the French cloud company Tresorio recycles the heat emitted by its servers to heat buildings’ water. Created in 2016, this technology targets both companies and individuals.
How does it work? Water passes through copper blocks in contact with computer chips. This water comes out hot and is reused in boilers. By recycling this energy, Tresorio aims to make digital technology more inclusive and useful in daily life. Jonathan Klein, co-founder of Tresorio, explains: “If we recycled all the heat from French data centers, we could supply the equivalent of 4 billion showers per year, or 6 months of showers for the French population“.
