This project will look to capture waste ammonia from Severn Trent’s sewage treatment facility and turn it into a valuable green fuel.
Severn Trent currently destroys the waste ammonia present in sewage due to its toxic properties but this programme of work could see it captured and converted into hydrogen.
The benefits of the process are twofold – firstly Severn Trent will gain a more efficient method of processing ammonia and secondly hydrogen will be produced as a clean fuel.
