Anglian Water plans to use wastewater to generate green hydrogen; refueling network Element 2 to supply all across UK.
Here’s an article posted in Business Green that talks about the hydrogen project of Anglian Water.
According to the article,
- The project aims to reduce carbon emissions during the water recycling process.
- An integrated electrolyser system is being introduced at Anglian Water’s site to produce green hydrogen.
- The green hydrogen produced will be used by Element 2 to fuel hydrogen-powered logistics vehicles.
- The initiative is part of the innovative Triple Carbon Reduction Project
The project aims to relocate the existing Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant to free up the land for sustainable economic and housing growth in Cambridge, enabling the development of around 8,000 homes as part of the North East Cambridge project.
So what are some of the key features of Anglian Water’s proposed new waste water treatment facility?
Our specialty focus areas include
- It will be a modern, low carbon facility designed to be operationally net zero carbon and energy neutral.
- It will significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to the existing facility, targeting a 70% reduction in embedded carbon during construction.
- It will provide greater resilience and improved storm management to reduce the likelihood of storm overflows.
- It will reduce concentrations of pollutants in the final treated effluent discharged to the River Cam, improving water quality.
