🏆 Breakthrough Winner Spotlight: Proving the concept of sewage sludge pyrolysis 🏆 Led by Thames Water - and with partners including Cranfield University, Helsinki Region Environmental Services (HSY), Stantec and a number of other water companies - the project aims to deliver the first continuously operating, sludge-fed UK-based pyrolysis demonstration plant. Pyrolysis (a high temperature process with no oxygen present) can be used to recycle sludge to maximise the value of biosolids; ensuring a circular economy and reducing the requirement for sludge to be recycled to agricultural land Discover more of the winning innovations and partnerships developed through the Water Breakthrough Challenge 4: https://lnkd.in/ei4RHvtz Feeling inspired? Our Water Breakthrough Challenge 5 competition will open on 9 September 2024 with approximately £40 million available for projects delivered in partnership with water companies in England and Wales.

Together with Spring we've launched a knowledge-sharing vision and set of principles to accelerate the adoption of innovative solutions across the water industry ⬇️
Spring Innovation and Ofwat have launched a knowledge-sharing vision and set of principles to accelerate the adoption of innovative solutions across the water industry. Together, we've established six best practice principles, informed by direct input from water company leaders, aimed at creating a world-class knowledge-sharing culture. This collaboration is a step towards ensuring faster dissemination of project learnings and driving transformational change in the sector. Spring and Ofwat’s six principles for best practice knowledge-sharing are: - Learn from existing information before committing to innovation projects - Target innovation insights at the right audiences to meet objectives - Regularly share insights through multiple channels from day one of the project - Ensure insights from both innovation successes and failures are shared - Ensure sector knowledge is open and centralised - Empower people to receive and embed lessons from external sources To read the full article head to the following link: https://lnkd.in/eS3V8XuG #WaterSector #Ofwat #SpringInnovation #UKWater
