Mark Bjornsgaard, CEO, Deep Green Technologies Title: “How Does Deep Green Heat All of the UK’s Swimming Pools for Free, and Reboot Local Economises at the Same Time?”

SYNOPSIS: In March 2023, Deep Green announced they had installed a piece of technology in Exmouth Leisure Centre which supplies most of the heat the pool needs, for free.

In his presentation Mark, the CEO of Deep Green, will explain how a Deep Green unit works to capture the heat given off by computers and feeds that energy into the pools’ existing heating system.

Deep Green’s revolutionary technology will transform the fortunes of local pools as local communities, councils and business leaders get behind the business and start to utilise the cloud services it offers.
