Verdo Vand has partnered with Aalborg University on using solar cells in water utility operations. The primary goal is to optimise production such that water is extracted and distributed when the sun is shining. This will lead to marked energy savings for the waterworks.

The collaboration is based around a PhD project, for which Verdo has made a pipe network model available to Aalborg University. The model contains information about pipe locations, sizes and materials for our entire distribution network. This is being used by the university to develop algorithms that can optimise production.

The project began at the start of 2022 and will run until 2024.

Based on the motto that many small green steps also add up to a sustainable impact on the future, Verdo Vand installed LPS battery generators in the vehicles of its drinking water installers in 2022. They provide power for a full working day and replace the petrol generators previously used for welding work, etc. This takes us one step closer to phasing out fossil fuels.
