This initiative been awarded more than £6 million to decarbonise wastewater treatment – reducing nitrogen oxide emissions and recovering beneficial resources including phosphorus and nitrogen. The water industry consumes between two and three per cent of electricity produced in the UK and around 55 per cent of this – the equivalent of powering over 1.2 million homes – is linked to the processing of wastewater. The project is developing solutions that would reduce the energy required for wastewater treatment.
