Post-production generates ~20% of the UK media sector's 250ktCO2e+ emissions (Film London) but is often neglected in sustainability strategies that typically focus on the pre-production or production phases. As VFX, animation and AI play an increasingly important role on our screens, this proportion continues to grow, driven by the vast computing power re...

Almost everything we do today, including you reading this right now, involves a Data Centre (DC). As a result, DCs will consume 10% of TOTAL global electricity by 2030, producing 1.8Gt CO2 p.a., far more than aviation (Shift,2022). Because they generate vast amounts of heat, 40% of their energy is used for cooling, with heat expelled into the atmosphere (...

Data centres are on track to consume 8% of global electricity by 2030, producing 1.8Gt CO2 p.a. (Nature, 2020). Because they generate vast amounts of heat, 40% of their energy consumption is used for cooling, with heat expelled into the atmosphere (Clarke Energy). Capturing this heat represents a significant opportunity for the sector to increase efficien...

Bit Warmer has developed a disruptive innovation that re-imagines the data centre as a series of distributed cloud computing systems located inside people's homes. Bit Warmer's 'Hot Patch' unit is retrofitted onto domestic hot water tanks via a thermal contact plate (using a British Gas approved process), where it then performs remote compute tasks (e.g. ...
