Green Heating

Greenhouse Vegetable Growing

The challenge for Swiss vegetable growers to heat greenhouses without fossil fuels from 2026 is a big one. In response to the demands of Migros, the largest customer of vegetable growers, Swiss growers must move away from traditional heating methods such as propane and oil to meet their energy efficiency and sustainability requirements. This requires a significant expansion of renewable energy sources and new technologies that can capture and use waste heat.

Geothermal energy, wood chips and heat pumps are among the options currently used by Swiss vegetable farmers to reduce their dependence on traditional fossil fuels. However, as demand increases, new solutions are needed.

Waste heat from high-performance computers is one such option that is emerging as a potential solution. By placing these computers in immersion cooling tanks, up to 97% of the heat can be captured and returned to the greenhouse for heating purposes.

This type of financial modeling has become increasingly important for banks since the 2008 financial crisis, when it became apparent that many banks had taken on too much risk without properly assessing the potential downside. As a result, regulators around the world are requiring banks to use more sophisticated methods, such as VaR, to ensure they are managing their risk appropriately. This means that banks must now use more computing power than ever before to perform these analyses.

The result is an increase in energy consumption and heat generated by the high-performance computers used for VaR calculations. If not used efficiently, this heat can harm the environment and contribute to climate change. However, if used properly, it could represent a great opportunity for banks to reduce their carbon footprint and make a positive contribution to decarbonization efforts

The hotel industry in Switzerland is facing a growing challenge to become CO2 neutral as customers increasingly demand ways to actively decarbonize their tourism experiences. This means that hotels in Switzerland's mountain regions must find innovative ways to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing comfort or quality.
