Scottish Water Horizons

Mark your calendars! 📅 On November 26th, join Neil Beaumont, Senior Project Manager, at this year's British Hydropower Association Conference, as he takes the stage to talk about our ground-breaking work in hydropower innovation across Scottish Water's diverse asset base. Neil will dive into the pioneering technologies and low-carbon solutions we’re using to develop sustainable energy solutions - from industrial sites such as waste water and water treatment works to natural settings like river and reservoir inlets. Session highlights: 💧 Hydropower generation from waste water 💧 Unique siphon-fed hydro turbine system 💧 Future-focused strategies for sustainable hydropower Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights on the future of clean energy! We look forward to seeing you there! 💚 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/eUqGt5by #Hydropower #SustainableEnergy #Water #WasteWater Donald MacBrayne Debbie Henderson Ian Piggott

🌍 Today, our very own Colin Lindsay, Developer and Hydrogen Services Manager, took to the stage at the Hydrogen Scotland Conference to share insights on sustainable water solutions with a packed audience of over 400 attendees. He emphasised the critical role of #location in Scotland’s hydrogen future, especially as #water availability becomes increasingly important in the face of a changing climate. By strategically co-locating hydrogen projects beside Scottish Water assets, opportunities also exist to optimise energy use, reduce costs, and make more efficient use of resources. Colin also highlighted the untapped potential of #FinalEffluent as a sustainable water source in hydrogen production, contributing to a circular economy and supporting Scotland’s clean energy goals. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us today! 💚 If you’re ready to explore how we can support your hydrogen projects, speak to us today - the earlier, the better! #GreenHydrogen #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #ClimateChange Martin Duncan Andrew Morson Donald Hearn

🌟 What a fantastic first day at the Hydrogen Scotland Conference! 🌟 We kicked off with our Sustainable Water Workshop – a huge thank you to everyone who joined, and a special shout-out to Jacqui Lang from Scottish Environment Protection Agency and Marie Karlsson Carruthers from Marubeni Corporation for their invaluable support! 🙌💧 From insightful discussions with industry leaders to exploring the latest innovative thinking, today showcased the passion and commitment driving hydrogen forward as a key player in Scotland’s clean energy journey. We can’t wait for day two, packed with even more learning, collaboration, and inspiration! 🌍🔋✨ #GreenHydrogen #water #finaleffluent #innovation Colin Lindsay Martin Duncan Andrew Morson Donald Hearn Scottish Water

🎉 We’re buzzing with excitement - our hydropower scheme in East Lothian has made it to the 'Outstanding Project' finals at the Scottish Green Energy Awards! This innovative scheme, with its unique siphon-fed system, showcases the power of clean energy. Big thanks to our amazing team and partners Emtec Energy OSSBERGER GmbH + Co. KG Dulas Ltd AECOM for making it happen! Now, it’s a countdown to 5th December - fingers crossed we bring home the win! 🤞 Read more 👉https://lnkd.in/eyYG-_4E #Hydropower #Renewables #NetZero Donald MacBrayne Neil Beaumont Stuart Clark MSc MIES Ian Piggott Steven Brasher MEng, AMIChemE Scottish Renewables

To accelerate our investment in renewable energy, we have sold three low-carbon heat from waste water assets in Glasgow, Stirling, and Campbeltown to Noventa Energy Partners. 🌎 These innovative systems, the first of their kind in the UK, will benefit from Noventa’s advanced technology, further reducing emissions and boosting heat generation. This move allows us to unlock capital for future renewable energy initiatives while ensuring these assets continue to deliver sustainable, low-carbon heating for local communities. We remain deeply committed to working with Noventa and other partners to meet Scotland’s growing demand for low carbon heat solutions. #LetsDoNetZero Read more 👉 j1l.in/k1HDSL #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #HeatFromWasteWater #ClimateChange Donald MacBrayne Nigel Balfour Fiona Dall Paul Kerr Alex Plant Simon Parsons Danny Cowe David Ross Scottish Water Ancala

🌍💧 Join us at Hydrogen Scotland 2024 as we explore how water plays a key role in driving the future of hydrogen energy. We’re excited to host a workshop on #Water for #Hydrogen on Day 1, where we’ll dive into the opportunities and challenges around water supply, sustainability, and the role of final treated effluent. We'll also be joined by representatives from Scottish Environment Protection Agency and Marubeni Corporation. Whether you're in renewables, energy, or water management, this is your chance to engage with experts and help shape the conversation. Don’t miss out!

We had a fantastic time at European Water Technology Week in the Netherlands, showcasing our Water and Waste Water Development Centres. Project Manager, Cormac Halley, shared how these centres are springboards for innovators, speeding up market adoption and delivering real-world solutions. By fast-tracking the testing of new technologies, we’re enabling cleaner, safer water for communities and more sustainable practices for the environment. 💡 💚 Find out more 👉 j1l.in/7rFeSb #Innovation #WaterTech #Sustainability #Collaboration #WasteWater #Water Donald MacBrayne Greig Adams Kyle Mathieson

🚨 Bat detectives on patrol! 🦇🔍 Before installing solar panels at Scotland’s largest waste water pumping station, Scottish Water's Enviro team joined forces with JK Ecology to search for any hidden bat roosts in the rafters. Armed with infra-red cameras and listening devices, we're making sure our nocturnal friends are safe and sound while we work on this green energy and biodiversity project! 🌞 With solar panels, hedges, and wildflowers in the mix, we're powering up for net zero by 20240 while protecting nature every step of the way. 💚 Big thanks to Jane Chilton for capturing the action behind the scenes! 🎥👏 Were bats found?
