Conveyancing in Didcot, OX11 – Human Waste Used to Heat Homes

Conveyancing in Didcot highlighted a new way to heat homes; biomethane made from sewage. Home owners in Didcot will soon be the first in the UK to use gas made from their own human waste and supplied via the national grid to heat their homes. Didcot sewage works in Oxfordshire will produce enough renewable gas to supply up to 200 homes; this will be used to generate heat, which is healthy for the environment but is also beneficial to home owners as this will result in a reduction in heating costs.

Sewage arrives at the Didcot works from some of Thames Water's 13.8 million customers to be treated and recycled back to the environment. Sludge, the solid part of sewage, is then treated further in warmed-up vats in a process called anaerobic digestion, where bacteria break down biodegradable material, yielding Biogas. Impurities are removed from the biomethane before it is fed into the gas grid. The whole process - from flushing a toilet to gas being piped to people's homes - takes around 20 days.
