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 %.
