Yorkshire water

The water company has adopted new technology that allows engineers and technicians to help and advise their colleagues remotely

The new ceramic surface treatment, developed by advanced materials manufacturer Haydale, is designed to prevent concrete decay and prolong the life of assets

Trials of an innovative project have shown plants, which are planted to cover the soil can sequester more than four tonnes of carbon every year

The water company plans to install photovoltaic infrastructure across 150 of its sites, with forecast emission reductions of approximately 6,000 tonnes annually

The company retrofitted a standard truck to use hydrogen dual-fuel – it will be deployed in the supply restoration team in South Yorkshire and will generate 33% less carbon emissions than a typical vehicle

The project aims to help prioritise repairs, reduce leaks and end supply interruptions

The firm is to trial the new devices over a two-year period in Sheffield – it believes they could save up to 250,000 litres of water per burst pipe

The water company previously set a goal of planting one million tress across the UK and said it is putting the environment at the forefront of its plans

The water company is exploring cleaning up its fleet as part of its commitment to be carbon-neutral by 2030

The project aims to provide better insights into the microbes that drive anaerobic digestion and find the ideal conditions to increase efficiency
