Green Mountain’s data centre heat reuse initiative with Norwegian Lobster Farm

Norway

Green Mountain and Norwegian Lobster Farm have formed an agreement regarding the reuse of wasted heat from the SVG1-Rennesøy data centre.

To achieve optimal growth, lobsters require a seawater temperature of 20°C. Now, thanks to the collaboration, heated wastewater can be taken from Green Mountain’s data centre and redirected to the farm, providing the perfect conditions without requiring any additional energy expenditure.

This solution will be used to support the operations of the world's first landbased lobster farm, while representing a pioneering example of data centres driving a circular economy.
