Remains and other pathology specimens would be terrible fuel for an incinerator as they are very liquidy... this wasn’t done to generate heat for the hospitals it was done to avoid paying for medical waste disposal which is very costly.. incineration at very high temps is a clean way to dispose of such waste and a hospital generates a lot of it, most of it plastic which would be good fuel, the simplest way to recapture the benefit of the incinerator would be heating water or generating electricity. Babies aborted or miscarried at 20 weeks or under aren’t even normally sent to pathology that is usually reserved for babies 20+ weeks along.

The thought I immediately had was how much energy could they even garner from the specimens? Their explanation does not hold water.

This is something you would expect to hear out of Nazi Germany.

It will be very interesting to find out if pathology specimens are also disposed of in this manner at hospitals in other parts of Europe--especially in Germany, where people want to get away from nuclear power and using pathology specimens as biofuel for power plants to generate electricity for the hospital next door may not be such a far-fetched idea.
