WIMES, Ecodesign and the quest for higher standards

As governments, economies and industries are challenged with meeting Net Zero by 2050, the UK water industry has gone a step further and pledged its own deadline of 2030. In doing so, it has set a standard against which other industries should be measured. Such impressive targets won't be met without innovation, work, and a healthy dash of legislation though, as ABB's Rich Gee explains.

Why VSDs are a crucial waypoint on the route map to Net Zero

The UK water industry has unveiled its plan to deliver a Net Zero supply for customers by 2030, a full two decades before the government's target of 2050. The sector deserves immense credit for setting such an ambitious target, which is the world's first sector-wide commitment of its kind. Getting there will not be easy, but as ABB's Clayton Mead explains, embracing the quick wins now can help to lay the foundations for success in longer term goals.
