1.2 Severn Trent Water and its Supply Chain
• Severn Trent aim to transform one of our large wastewater treatment works into the first net carbon neutral wastewater treatment works in the UK by the End of March 2024.
• We will achieve this by installing a combination of innovative technologies that will reduce, remove or offset carbon emissions.
Severn Trent would like to obtain support from the market to understand what Technologies currently exists under the following targeted Net Zero areas:
• Reduce & Remove Technologies (RRT) aligned to the Project or Intervention Accounting: Quantified GHG emissions reduction or removal impacts of projects or interventions which are credited for GHG claims to be transferred between entities
• Circular Economy Technologies (CET) aligned to both the above and Inventory Accounting: Emissions and removals in the GHG inventory. These occur in a company's operations and value chain (Reduce/Remove of Scope 1, 2, 3)
Within these targeted areas STW has identified the following type of Technology which we may wish to implement on the Net Zero site.
This document details the PIN Notice process we are conducting and guidance for engagement during this process.
