Canaan Inc. will start a 3 MW pilot with Bitforest in Manitoba to reuse the heat generated by its Avalon A1566HA-460T computers. The system includes 360 liquid-cooled units and four container modules.
The captured heat will preheat the water for the greenhouses’ electric boilers, which produce tomatoes, reducing the additional energy needed to maintain temperature. Approximately 90% of the electricity consumed by the servers is expected to be transferred to the heating system.
The pilot will run for 24 months and evaluate recovery efficiency, system stability, and operating costs. The system can heat water above 75 °C and eliminates the need for industrial cooling towers, with a total estimated cost of $0.035/kWh.
Canaan plans to use the data to create a scalable heat-recovery model applicable to agriculture in cold climates. The project can generate up to one million tons of hot water per year, integrating the system with existing boilers and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Canaan will continue rolling out energy efficiency initiatives, including Bitcoin mining-powered home heating and improvements to its Avalon systems.
