Brief Description: This project aims to demonstrate a Tri-generation Recovery Efficient Energy Storage (TREES) system for low-grade heat recovery and reuse benefits in data centres, optimising energy use and sustainability. It will validate results for commercialisation, develop market strategies, and advance TREES to TRL6 for on-site pilots. This foundation will support a Durham University spin-out and economic growth in the Northeast.
