Regulation and Legislation
Water UK has reiterated its warning that Government proposals to tackle nutrient pollution, if left unchanged, will force water companies to rebuild concrete-intensive sewage treatment works.
The Environment Agency has published new regulatory guidance on the production of hydrogen from methane with carbon capture, otherwise known as ‘blue’ hydrogen.
The National Infrastructure Commission, the UK government’s independent advisers on national infrastructure, has taken space in One Embankment, the central Leeds offices which also serve as the headquarters of the UK Infrastructure Bank.
The Government has accepted an amendment by the Liberal Democrats to the UK Infrastructure Bank Bill currently making its way its way through Parliament which would see water firms lose access to public funds unless they commit to stop sewage discharges.
The House of Commons Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee has expressed surprise and disappointment after the government disagreed with key recommendations in its report on dealing with the growing problem of plastic waste.
