Heat created during cremation process an untapped source of power.
Dr Troyer from the University of Bath believes that heat capture technology will make crematoriums an efficient means of producing electricity and will be speaking at Somerset County Cricket Club on
the 27th September about his findings.
His research has taken place over a year at Haycombe Cemetery and Crematorium in Bath, and believes that with planning it could produce enough energy to sell back to the National Grid. Local councils in Cardiff and Redditch have supported the idea, and argue that the recycled energy could be used to heat other council-run buildings, such as leisure or community centres.
Although Dr Troyer’s ideas have been met with some reluctance, he feels that transparency is key and that “like other changes, it will soon become part of the funeral process and widely accepted. What this represents is a significant new way in thinking about the dead body and how it is taken care of.”
