 LNG gasification releases large amounts of cold energy. Data centers generate a lot of heat and consume a lot of power during operation. If the cold energy of LNG can be used as the cold source of data centers, considerable economic benefits will be obtained. Presents the status quo of the construction of LNG receiving station in China, analyses the utilization way of LNG cold energy and discusses the possible problems when utilizing LNG cold energy in data centers. Based on a practical project, analyses the economic benefits of applying LNG cold energy to data centers. The application of LNG cold energy in data centers remains to be deeply studied and to be further practiced.
