Heata provides a distributed high‑performance compute platform that captures the waste heat from GPU and CPU workloads and redirects it to supply free hot water to households facing fuel poverty. By running rendering, simulation, or research jobs on Heata’s infrastructure, businesses can maintain performance while reducing their carbon footprint and receiving real‑time metrics on emissions saved and hot‑water generated.

Problem
High-performance compute workloads, such as 3D rendering, simulation, and scientific modeling, generate large amounts of waste heat that is typically dissipated without value. This excess heat contributes to the carbon footprint of compute-intensive businesses and represents a missed opportunity for energy reuse.
Solution
Heata operates a distributed compute network whose waste heat is captured and redirected to supply hot water for households facing fuel poverty. By routing the thermal output of GPU and CPU clusters to a heat‑exchange system, Heata converts otherwise wasted energy into a useful service. Clients run their workloads on Heata’s infrastructure, receiving the same performance while offsetting their carbon emissions through the heat‑recycling process. The platform provides a carbon‑impact calculator that estimates emissions saved and the volume of hot water generated, enabling businesses to quantify sustainability benefits. Heata’s model creates a circular energy flow, reducing overall demand for conventional heating and supporting community welfare.
Target Audience
Primary customers are architectural visualization firms, animation studios, and research organizations that run intensive GPU/CPU workloads and seek to lower their carbon footprint while contributing to social impact.
