atNorth Denmark

– a leader in the development of circular and bio-based operations for waste streams. The partnership will enable the recycling of excess heat from the new campus for use in large scale greenhouses for vegetable production. The site will also be equipped to provide heating and hot water for local communities via the district heating supplier.

"We are delighted to partner with atNorth in a shared commitment to a circular economy," says Jacques Ejlerskov, CEO at Wa3rm. "State-of-the-art data centers such as DEN02 have the ability to significantly contribute to increased circularity through re-use of resources such as excess heat, and with atNorth we have found a partner that shares our vision of 'bringing waste to life'."

Additionally, atNorth is pursuing the possibility of attracting sustainable power production in the form of wind and solar energy farms around the DEN02 site. Denmark is known for its ambitious renewable energy strategy, aiming to be a low-carbon society independent of fossil fuels by 2050. In 2022, the share of renewables in domestic electricity supply grew to a record 81.4%, according to statistics from the Danish Energy Agency.

Vanessa Vega Saenz, Director of Invest in Denmark, commented, "Denmark presents an opportunity for businesses to flourish with its collaborative community that supports innovation, attracts talent, and fosters a sustainable growth mindset. With its strong focus on sector integration atNorth can play a key role in the further development of sustainable hyperscale datacenters."

The DEN02 site is atNorth's second data center in Denmark. Its first site, DEN01, is located near Ballerup, and will have a 30MW capacity and is due to open by Q2 2025.
