Rethink your source of heat

Low carbon heat. Naturally.

At Scottish Water Horizons, we’re helping organisations across Scotland tap into an often-overlooked energy source – low carbon heat from waste water.

Using proven heat recovery technologies, we enable energy to be captured from the sewer network and reused to heat buildings, campuses, and entire communities. It’s a smart, reliable way to cut emissions and reduce energy bills, while making better use of existing infrastructure.

We’ve helped deliver some of the UK’s most pioneering heat from waste water schemes, including:

• Borders College, Galashiels – the UK’s first ever waste water heat recovery system, delivering renewable heat directly into the college campus.
• Stirling Low Carbon Heat Network – developed in partnership with Stirling Council, this innovative district heating system uses heat from waste water to supply multiple public buildings.
• Dalmarnock Waste Water Heat Recovery – supporting low-carbon heating for a major mixed-use development in Glasgow’s East End by capturing renewable heat from the nearby sewer network.
• AMIDS (Renfrewshire) – enabling sustainable growth at Scotland’s innovation hub via waste water heat recovery to support low-carbon heating across key industrial and research facilities.

These projects prove that low-carbon heat isn’t just possible – it’s practical.

Let’s talk heat recovery

If you’re a local authority, developer, or commercial energy user, we can help assess the feasibility and business case for heat from waste water solutions in your area.
