Brainstorming session 1)
Hydrogen fuel cells in data centers
This session will see delegates brainstorm the challenges, focus areas and solutions around introducing hydrogen fuel cells in data centers.
Brainstorming Session 2)
Integrating on-site solar and wind energy as supplementary sources of energy
This session will see delegates brainstorm the challenges, focus areas and solutions around introducing on-site solar and wind sources as supplementary forms of energy supply. This may include non-technical solutions such as adjustments to SLA’s etc.
Brainstorming session 3)
Data centers as suppliers of grid services
This session will see delegates brainstorm the challenges, focus areas and solutions around ensuring data centers can contribute profitably to the energy transition of the wider energy grid. This may also include non-technical solutions such as adjustments to SLA’s with the energy provider or wider utility.
Brainstorming session 4)
Recycling waste heat in data centers.
This session will see delegates brainstorm the challenges, focus areas and solutions around the re-use of energy in data centers, and the potential integration of data centers with heat grids.
