Roadway heating to reduce snow melt costs sounds like a good use for waste process heat, for example from datacenters.
FWIU typically it's necessary to amp up waste heat in order to get it to move through a heat pipe under a street.
There are LEED Green buildings that are heated by datacenter waste heat.

> Most datacenters have no way to return their boiled, sterilized, [demineralized] water for water treatment, and so they don't give or sell datacenter waste water back, it takes heat with it when it is evaporated.

A sustainable thermofluid would increase the efficiency and sustainability of heat recovery and reuse operations
