Summary

We are opening up Scottish Water’s networks to extract renewable heat from waste water.

Scottish Water has a vast infrastructure including 32,000 miles of sewers which carry waste water from homes and businesses to around 1,800 treatment works across Scotland.

We are harnessing these networks to support innovation, growth and the development of a sustainable low carbon economy.

Innovative heat recovery technology

Working with our external partner SHARC Energy Systems, we are deploying innovative heat recovery technology in waste water networks to capture heat for use as a renewable energy source.

Already employed in Canada, the technology involves the use of a heat exchanger to extract energy from waste water and transfer it as heat to the clean water network.  This provides heating, cooling and hot water for export to nearby homes and buildings.
