“ It was very, very optimistic for Germany to put that law in place before the industry was actually ready for it. While there are indeed technologies to take that waste heat and turn it back into electricity, we are currently seeing waste heat deployed more successfully in things like greenhouses and industrial processes.”
While European operators navigate heat regulations, North American facilities are capitalising on natural geographical advantages. A prime example is TeraWulf’ s Lake Mariner campus, an efficient site on the shores of Lake Ontario in Barker, New York, which is powered by 89 % zero-carbon energy sourced from Niagara Falls’ hydropower.
