The study ther

Research shows that various aspects of environmental injustice can be found even on a local level in Sweden. Still, the topic of environmental justice is often disregarded in local planning processes and ecological and social concerns are often treated as two separate issues.

This thesis approaches the challenges of data centre resource efficiency and global water scarcity through a techno-economic analysis of a desalination system driven by data centre waste heat. Membrane distillation is selected as a high-potential technology for this application and is examined through a case study of a hypothetical 1.5 MW direct-to-chip data centre located in Barcelona, Spain.
