The Technische Universität München (TUM) plans to achieve CO2 neutrality by 2028 by harnessing waste heat from its supercomputers, as presented by real estate manager Florian Loibl at a city council meeting. The initiative, in collaboration with GETEC Wärme und Effizienz GmbH, aims to eliminate fossil fuel-based energy generation and significantly reduce natural gas consumption, with the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre supplying 55% of the heating. TUM targets a reduction of its annual CO2 emissions from 30 tons to zero within the next five years.
