• Global warming – how to reduce the

environmental impact of energy production

• Digitalization of the world – fast growth of

datacenter capacity globally. The dc

industry is/will be a significant energy user.

Fortum’s green data center concepts to increase data centers' environmental

performance

Heat utilization in district

heating network

• Cool the data center with

heat pumps

• Supply excess heat to the

district heating network
