Qarnot Computing
Headquartered in Montrouge, France
Qarnot is a French technology company pioneering a unique approach to sustainable high-performance computing (HPC). Founded in 2010 and based in Montrouge, France, Qarnot offers ecological and economical cloud computing by repurposing the heat generated by servers to warm buildings—effectively turning data processing into a source of energy reuse.
Their flagship innovation, the Q.rad, is a computing heater that embeds microprocessors as a heat source. These devices are installed in residential and commercial buildings, where they perform distributed computing tasks while simultaneously providing heat. This model eliminates the need for traditional data center cooling infrastructure, significantly reducing energy waste.
