The Federation of Tampere Evangelical Lutheran Parishes wants to pump excess heat from its Valtiala furnace into the local central heating system to heat homes in the town as well as in nearby Kangasala.
If the parish union and Kangasalan Lämpö reach an agreement, the crematorium’s excess heat could be warming homes in the area by next winter.
The human body is 70% water. The energy required to evaporate all that would wipe out anything you’d get from combusting the organic matter. And it’s not like they could leave them out back to dry out like seasoning firewood.
