Worldwide Data centers (DC) are estimated to account for 1 to 2% of electricity usage. Regarding the European context, it is expected that data centres will account for 98.5 TWh/year in 2030. So it is evident that there is an important potential to recover waste heat from the cooling processes of DCs. The THUNDER project aims to overcome existing barriers hampering a wide adoption of DCs waste heat recovery strategies, providing an innovative, efficient and cost attractive Seasonal Thermal storage based on Thermochemical Materials. THUNDER solutions stretch across the value chain (data centre innovative storage providers, heat pump manufacturers and district energy company operators). The THUNDER solutions will be validated in field conditions at the Demosite in Bulgaria where the practice of WHR from DC is not widely diffused thus boosting the market also in those areas. Deepened replicability assessment will be done and pre-feasibility analysis developed in 10 further Demosites across all over Europe. Co-design and training workshops will be organized at the replicability identified sites to promote stakeholders engagement and social awareness thus unlocking barriers and make it real THUNDER replication.

全球数据中心 (DC) 估计占用电量的 1% 到 2%。就欧洲而言，预计到 2030 年，数据中心将占 98.5 TWh/年。因此，回收数据中心冷却过程中的废热显然具有重要潜力。 THUNDER 项目旨在克服阻碍 DC 余热回收策略广泛采用的现有障碍，提供基于热化学材料的创新、高效且具有成本吸引力的季节性热存储。 THUNDER 解决方案涵盖整个价值链（数据中心创新存储提供商、热泵制造商和区域能源公司运营商）。 THUNDER 解决方案将在保加利亚演示现场的现场条件下得到验证，那里的 DC 余热回收实践尚未广泛普及，因此也促进了这些地区的市场。将在欧洲各地的另外 10 个演示点进行深化的可复制性评估并进行预可行性分析。将在可复制性确定的地点组织联合设计和培训研讨会，以促进利益相关者的参与和社会意识，从而消除障碍并使其真正成为雷霆复制。
