MicroLink designs, builds, owns, and operates data centers that reuse heat to create value for infrastructure.
“MicroLink is doing something unique and special, and that does not happen all the time in the data center industry.”

The case
01
A conventional data centre throws its heat away. Next to a district heating network, that same heat has a buyer who is already paying for it in gas. On 20 MW of IT load, roughly $14M a year against the same capital.
It need not be taken as cash. The value can go back to the host as discounted heat, or be traded for a lower power price, or for grid capacity at a site otherwise years down an interconnection queue.
Cumulative heat revenue from 20 MW of IT load at PUE 1.12 and ERE 0.48, held flat with no escalator applied.


02
Evaporative cooling is what makes a campus a water story in the local press. A closed loop with a dry cooler path removes the argument before it starts, which is the difference between a permit granted and a permit fought.
Measured peak daily water use, Vantage Data Centers Port Washington Wisconsin, closed loop against a comparable evaporative campus.
03
Enterprises are moving AI workloads out of public cloud and into infrastructure they own or co-locate, driven by cost at scale, data sovereignty rules and disaster recovery that cannot sit in one provider.
Illustrative. Share of enterprise AI workloads moving off public cloud into owned and co-located infrastructure over a ten year window.

04
One module, one heat exchanger, one control system, assembled at whatever scale the host facility and the sink can carry. A cabinet in a plant room and a 750 MW campus are the same product counted differently.
05
Twelve sites in the portfolio, each an existing industrial facility with a heat sink already attached. We are working toward breaking ground on all of them.

Eight of twelve shown. Frankfurt, Tokyo and two further US sites are at an earlier stage. Alongside these, we have continuing discussions on a public programme placing units in K to 12 schools, a global pod rollout across the bottling plants of a beverage manufacturer, and a number of university collaborations.
