[BONI.D 💡] Tresorio: The Cloud That Reuses Its Servers’ Energy as a Heating Source

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“.

 

An ingenious service praised by Les Grandes Idées!

Investments: For Investing in Hotels, Unity is Strength!

While buying a hotel is not within everyone’s reach, various forms of collective ownership allow dedicating part of one’s savings to the hotel sector.

 

Jean-Marc Palhon, Chairman of EXTENDAM, specifies: “Hospitality is a full-fledged asset class in which it is possible to invest. The European territory lends itself well with an abundant active population and a dense transport infrastructure. It is also the most visited continent in the world. At the same time, the hotel industry suffers from a supply deficit and an aging stock, quite unsuitable for demand“.
