Power to the people – the UK’s evolving electricity transmission system

As the way in which we generate and consume energy changes, the demands on our existing transmission system are changing. Here, Ed Walker MEI, Principal Environmental Consultant, Xodus, considers how the UK network is evolving to meet these demands, and what the transmission network of the future may look like.

Thermal hydrolysis improves the efficiency of biogas production

The production of useful biogas through the anaerobic digestion of waste sludge at wastewater treatment plants is an elegant example of the circular energy economy. But system efficiencies can be improved through the addition of thermal hydrolysis plants, writes Abigail Williams.
