From a stuffy metro station in Paris, to a large shopping mall in the United States, human body heat is helping to lessen the need to burn fossil fuels for warmth.
Climate Change And The Circular Economy →
Circular economics favor economic development, restorative and regenerative by design, decoupling growth from finite resource consumption, eventually engendering a nimble footprint on earth. It focuses on three principles: design waste-and-pollution-free products; recycle and upscale materials in use; and regenerate natural systems. It spurs circular design thinking as a substitution for the linear growth mindset.

A new engine converts waste hot water from industrial equipment into electricity.
NATURE WORLD NEWS - Exergyn, a startup based in Dublin, Ireland, is planning to run the first industrial trials of the new energy-efficient engine by next year, New Scientist reports. The engine generates electricity from heated water that is left over from other equipment. According to co-founder and chief executive Alan Healy, waste hot water (low-grade waste heat or LGWH) from industrial processes amounts to about twice the energy in Saudi Arabia's oil and gas output per year.

CITYFIXER - By 2050, Amsterdam hopes to put its gas-heated days behind it. In a city where natural gas warms 90 percent of all homes and contributes 30 percent of all carbon emissions, removing all those boilers won’t be easy—but it could very well be worth it.
Read moreEIA: Many industries use combined heat and power to improve energy efficiency
Combined heat and power (CHP) systems have long been used to reduce the overall energy intensity of industrial systems. There are two types of combined heat and power, depending on whether the system produces power first, then heat, or heat first, then power.
