Sewage: Renewable Energy
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs whether he has had discussions with water companies on using sewage for energy production.
- Answer
-
I have had discussions on this issue with a number of water companies and am aware that there is interest and activity in the industry to find energy solutions. For instance, earlier this year Severn Trent Water outlined to me its 25 year business plan and the role energy generation from sludge is expected to play in reducing its long-term carbon footprint.
