STEN BLOG
A pioneering project in Hounslow, West London, England is demonstrating how wastewater can become a valuable source of renewable thermal energy—and why organizations such as STEN are essential to expanding this technology...
Before projects can be identified as viable, heat mapping provides the information needed to determine whether a system can support a thermal energy recovery project...
As cities search for cleaner, more efficient energy solutions, a surprising resource is gaining attention: WASTEWATER. STEU taps into the stable temperatures found in sewer systems...
For heat pump manufacturers, the next frontier isn’t in the air or the ground - it’s in the pipes. As urban centers scramble to decarbonize, Sewer Heat Recovery is emerging...
Data centers are a part of our modern life, a necessary component of our current infrastructure space. One of the main reasons stated for opposition to its local development is that they use too much electricity and water...
Data centers use a lot of electricity and this electricity produces heat, which is of value to local communities if they are able to capture and reuse it.
By pairing energy-hungry data centers with the untapped thermal potential of sewer systems, we can reimagine urban heat systems, reduce emissions, and turn waste into utility.
This map shows the locations of 20 wastewater heat recycling projects in Germany which are currently in various stages of development...
MassDEP Announces Their Newest Program. The state of Massachusetts is promoting sewage thermal energy use (STEU), what they call Wastewater Energy Recovery (WWER). This is a pilot program offering incentives, in the form of grants...
