Wastewater Heat Recovery - White Paper

1 TWh
£33m Revenue
150k Tonnes CO₂

South West Water commissioned Recirc Energy to produce a white paper detailing the role wastewater heat recovery (WHR) could play in meeting company and government net zero targets. The study estimated that if SWW were to implement WHR at their 15 largest wastewater treatment sites, there was a median wholesale heat revenue potential of circa £33m per year.
