Winchburgh is the second site in Scotland to use the low carbon technology, following a pioneering project in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, with the same supplychain partners. This means more waste water can be treated faster and with less chemicals, in a smaller site area and with a much-reduced carbon footprint.
We will, through a step-change in investment, improve river health, address storm overflows, stop damaging abstraction, and reduce leakage for more resilient water supplies. He also noted how engineered solutions can, and should, work alongside nature-based solutions (NbS) rather than being seen in opposition.
The 5% target is considered the threshold at which the infrastructure, supplychains, and technologies that support zero-emission fuels are mature enough to enable exponential growth. In particular, they are central to delivering the goal of having zero-emission fuels account for 5% of all fuels by 2030.
