Paper mills need a lot of heat energy to run the processes. Data centres produce a lot of heat. Sounds like a good combination?

Cold water -> data centre cooling loop - > warm water -> paper mill with heat pumps to transform low-grade heat into the required temperatures -> profit

Data center cooling system output has miserably low extractable energy.
