Hot solution

COMPILED BY R. KRITHIKA

A dairy needs to chill its milk before sending it out to consumers. But think of the energy that goes into the process? In Sweden, the heat released by chilling 7,900 gallons of milk a day will help warm the historic rooms of an 18th century castle. The milk from 1,100 cows will be used to heat a gym, a workshop and a 50-room complex. After considering biogas and wind power for this purpose, the authorities zeroed in on the environmentally friendly solution available on their own estate. The milk-heating solution will begin with the castle and slowly other buildings would also be covered by this option.
