Project Esbjerg (Denmark)

The Port of Esbjerg occupies a strategic location in the South West of Jutland, offering direct access to the North Sea. This advantageous geographical position has established the region as a key hub for the Danish oil and gas sector and a focal point for offshore construction projects. Additionally, there are ambitious plans underway to develop the area into a leading data center hub. This vision is supported by a network of essential fiber connections that extend from the North Sea to the region, enhancing its connectivity and technological infrastructure.

A significant demonstration of the Port of Esbjerg's dedication to sustainability and innovation is the recent implementation of a 70 MW heat-pump system. This state-of-the-art system effectively captures and repurposes the heat produced by the port's activities, redirecting it for city heating purposes. This innovative approach not only reduces energy waste but also contributes to the establishment of what is poised to be the world's most energy-efficient data center in terms of Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE). This forward-thinking initiative underscores the port's commitment to environmental stewardship and its leadership in promoting eco-friendly solutions within the industry.
