Turning Data Centres Waste Heat into Community Power with Mark Bjornsgaard

At Connected Britain, host Ian Ginn (  / ian-ginn  ) sits down with Mark Bjornsgaard (  / mark-bjornsgaard  ) , Chief Innovation Officer of Deep Green Technologies, to discuss how data centres can drive both digital progress and environmental change. Deep Green’s revolutionary approach captures waste heat from AI-powered data centres and reuses it to heat community swimming pools and district heating systems — saving energy, cutting costs, and reducing carbon emissions. Mark also shares insights on the challenges of scaling sustainable tech in the UK, the future of AI infrastructure, and why he believes green innovation must be driven by both economics and empathy.
