Heating greenhouse with plant hot water near Oakwood
University of Illinois researchers heat a greenhouse by piping hot water from an Illinois Power Co. plant near Oakwood. The simple method uses waste heat, no costly equipment, and aims to cut heating bills for industry and recover fuel costs for the utility. Negotiations seek a commercial greenhouse beside the Baldwin plant near St. Louis for further monitoring.
