HUBER Technology UK teams up with Noventa for sewer energy recovery

Running through our sewers, is a hidden and seldom used source of energy: municipal or Industrial wastewater with a typical temperature of 15°C - 20° C all year round. This constant supply of wastewater is an ideal energy source for both heating and cooling buildings. With over 40 installations globally, the patented HUBER ThermWin® technology is a proven solution for sewer energy recovery.

“HUBER’s pioneering wastewater treatment solutions have been used successfully in Scotland for over 30 years” said Steve Morris, Managing Director of HUBER Technology UK. “Our partnership with Noventa opens up the largely untapped opportunity for wastewater energy recovery, at a time it is most needed”.    Noventa is already working with the HUBER group in North America where Noventa Energy Partners (the parent company) is incorporating the HUBER ThermWin® technology into their Wastewater Energy Transfer™ (WET™) systems to provide meaningful environmental and financial benefits for communities. Phase 1 of Noventa’s WET™ system at Toronto Western Hospital, currently under construction, will provide over 19MW of low-carbon thermal energy and reduce GHG emissions by 8,400 tCO₂e annually – making it the largest raw wastewater energy system in the world. 

“We are excited to extend our partnership with HUBER to Scotland where we are working with Scottish Water Horizons to develop our Wastewater Energy Transfer™ systems at select sites across the country. With over 150 years of experience producing innovative products to manage wastewater, HUBER technology allows us to overcome the challenges of dealing with wastewater to build renewable energy projects that are safe, reliable and environmentally friendly. Together we are developing creative solutions to support Scotland’s mission to achieve net zero emissions by 2045”, said Dennis Fotinos, Managing Director of Noventa Energy UK.
