It will be used for water companies’ annual accounting, to report against the Ofwat operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions common performance commitment during Asset Management Plan 8 for 2025-30.
WD News: UKWIR is seeking expressions of interest (EoI) from parties able to deliver a new version of the water industry’s shared greenhouse gas (GHG) estimation and reporting tool in UK. This will be used for water companies’ annual accounting, to report against the Ofwat operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions common performance commitment during Asset Management Plan 8 for 2025-30.
‘This project represents a key update to the Carbon Accounting Workbook (CAW), and will go beyond the usual annual update of the existing CAW,” explained Mandy Fletton, Senior Programme Manager, UKWIR. “We are looking for innovative ideas as to how to deliver the objectives whilst providing an intuitive and user-friendly tool on an appropriate platform.
The UK water industry is the fourth most energy-intensive industry in the UK and generates just under 1% (5 million tonnes) of the UK’s GHGs. Each year, water companies in the UK and Ireland are required to report on their operational greenhouse gas emissions to industry regulators.
