Crematorium to Help Heat Swedish Town

摘要

The town of Halmstad, Sweden, is planning to increase the energy efficiency of its district heating system by connecting to the local crematorium. Initially the crematorium will use district heating services to heat its own facilities, but the city hopes to begin taking advantage of the heat created during cremation by 2010. The Halmstad cemetery administrator, Lennart Andersson, hopes no one is offended by the plans, and he insists the effort is being undertaken strictly for its environmental benefits.
