From the Coventry Telegraph (5/1/11):
"UNDERGROUND pipes could see Coventry’s city centre buildings heated by the Whitley incinerator.
The city council is planning to use warmth that is currently wasted at the plant off London Road to heat the Council House, Coventry Sports Centre, Coventry University and Coventry Cathedral.
The scheme could then be extended to heat homes at the Friargate development next to the railway station and the city centre masterplan.
A report to the city council’s cabinet claims that the new district heating system, when expanded to its maximum reach, could cut the council’s carbon footprint by a whopping 40 per cent.
It estimates the council could save £85,000 a year on its energy bills while simultaneously avoiding carbon taxes and generating income by selling heat supplies".
