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.
Exactly, it might sound bizarre at first but at the end of the day cremation is a massiv waste. They’re actually testing boiling corpses instead of burning them to save energy so all things considered this solution might be the less strange one.
