Big Heat Pumps Are Doing Big Things

The heat pump has become a common fixture in many parts of modern life. We now have reverse-cycle air conditioning, heat pump hot water systems, and even heat pump dryers. These home appliances hav…

TIL that a village close to mine installed a district heating system for 300 homes, a combination of solar power, ground and air source heat pumps with storage and backup electric heaters.

I thought this was only achievable in larger towns/cities!

Tallaght District Heating Scheme

The Tallaght District Heating Scheme is the first large-scale district heating network of its kind in Ireland. The network currently supplies heat to a number of public and residential buildings in the area using waste heat from the nearby Amazon data centre.

Finland is pioneering data center heat recovery at scale.
The concept: data centers generate massive amounts of waste heat. Instead of cooling it away with chillers, Finland captures it and pipes it into municipal district heating networks to warm homes and buildings.
It's elegant engineering: solve two problems (data center cooling + residential heating) with one system.
