In our efforts to improve our treatment processes and become climate resilient a continued cooperation with Águas do Tejo Atlântico is full of perspective. We will be exchanging both knowledge but also employees in order to gain real impact that will affect our businesses.

Investo Capital and Aarhus Vand has recently entered into a strategic cooperation in order to ensure growth within competitive companies, originating from a knowledge intensive and professionalized innovative environment around Aarhus Vand.

Aarhus Vand is taking sustainability to the next step and becomes the first water company in the world to be certified according to the UN’s Global Goals for Sustainable Development.

Aarhus Vand have been working strategically to develop energy neutral utilities for decades. It all started with a challenge to save energy and become more efficient, and now, after years of continuous work, we're able to announce, that already now the GHG emissions are 77% lower than in 2008.

Our biggest wastewater treatment plant in Marselisborg produced 30 % more electricity than the amount consumed by the plant itself on average between 2015-2019. At the same time the treatment plant produced 75 % more heat than it consumed, resulting in a total net energy production of 150 %.

Up to 10,000 households’ washing machines and toilets will soon use rainwater instead of drinking water in the Aarhus area. This is estimated to cut water consumption by as much as 40 %.

Climate change involves more precipitation, more heavy rain and more cloudbursts. In Aarhus and all over Denmark, climate change poses quite distinct challenges in areas connected to a public sewer system.
