The RISE Boden pilot couples one megawatt of data-center heat to roughly 10,000 m² of greenhouse, modeling an 8% lift in regional vegetable self-sufficiency.
How it maps hereCore SYN-HEAT + food member; anchors the heat→food worked example in the modeler.
Running these together in the Place Planner unlocks a synergy multiplier — each strengthens the others.
