In the EU, almost [63%](https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Energy_consumption_in_households) of total household energy is used for heating, while in the US, it's about [43%](https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/use-of-energy/homes.php).\n\nIn addition, data centers and crypto miners already consume [2% of the world's electricity](https://www.iea.org/reports/data-centres-and-data-transmission-networks). [40% of it is used for cooling](https://energyinnovation.org/2020/03/17/how-much-energy-do-data-centers-really-use/), which is enough energy to heat millions of homes or offices.\n\n## \ud83d\udca1 Our Solution\nFuroa is a symbiosis of two products: a *supercomputer disguised as a heating system* and a *decentralized cloud compute platform*. It's built for high-performance compute tasks like AI training/inference, rendering CGI, performing simulations, processing audio/video data, or running crypto staking nodes.\n\nUnlike existing cloud compute services, Furoa wastes no energy on cooling and doesn't require building huge data centers or hiring thousands of maintenance workers. That makes it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution.\n\n![](https://furoa.co/g/GGBR_01.png)\n\n## \ud83d\udd2e Our Vision\nOur vision is for millions of spaces worldwide to be heated using Furoa. With every additional space the combined processing power and degree of redundancy will increase\u2014but most importantly, the cheaper access to high-performance computing will become.\n\n## \ud83d\udc7e Open Source\nWe deeply believe that a global computing platform should be built by its community. That's why Furoa's operating system will be open-source once the software and hardware has been battle-tested.\n\n## \ud83d\udcb8 Use of Funds\nAll funds we receive will go towards prototype development.\n\n---\n\n**\ud83d\ude4f Help accelerate the transition to sustainable heating and decentralized computing by supporting the development of Furoa.**\n\n\ud83d\udc49 Learn more on [furoa.co](https://furoa.co) and follow us [@FuroaCo](https://twitter.com/FuroaCo).", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "FuroaCo"}
