Championing Nature together 🏆 A newly-launched programme will bring disadvantaged children, young people and families closer to nature and all its benefits 🌾 Made possible by four Wildlife trusts across England and the partnership between #Wimbledon and @emirates 🤝

Great to be on site with colleagues and supply chain at Thorpe Hesley, Yorkshire to see early stages of construction of @MiningRemAuth mine water treatment scheme. The scheme will protect drinking water for 2400 people and treat up to 2.36 billion litres of mine water each year

Record turnout for the BDA’s “Assessing & Mitigating Risks from Coalfield Areas” webinar! Thanks to the Mining Remediation Authority for expert insights into CMRA, coalfield planning & permitting. Watch again here - britishdrillingassociation.co.uk/news/bda-webin…

We are currently facilitating site works at Chester Moor Nature Reserve to allow The @MiningRemAuth to upgrade their infrastructure by replacing a failing pipeline. The pipeline serves the on-site mine water pumping station and works are essential due to its deteriorating condition. We expect the works to take up to 12 months with some areas of the Nature Reserve restricted during this period, and diversions in place. We ask visitors to follow on-site signage and instructions from staff, and keep dogs on a lead and under close control while using the site. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we undertake these vital works to protect the Nature Reserve.

Make sure to register for your FREE ticket to #MineWaterEnergy2025! Join for online talks from internationally renowned geothermal experts. The event will focus on case studies of mine water heating, cooling & storage schemes worldwide. Tickets here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/iea-geotherm…

A key milestone has been reached in one of the UK’s first large-scale mine water heat projects, with work now underway. We’re working with a number of organisations to deliver the project, which will ultimately see mine water used to heat homes on a new sustainable community, near #Seaham. We’ve teamed up with the @MiningRemAuth and @KarbonHomes, to heat 750 affordable homes on the Seaham Garden Village development. The ultra-low carbon district heat network has thus far received more than £4m in government funding. All legal and land agreements were recently completed, including the appointment of @VitalEnergi to design, build and operate the ultra-low carbon district heat network that will heat half of the homes on the new garden village. With the agreements in place, Vital has begun work to construct the energy centre, which will take heat to those homes. Cllr Mark Wilkes, our Cabinet member for neighbourhoods and climate change, said: “We are delighted to have started work on what will be the UK’s first large-scale mine water heat project using a mine water treatment scheme, right here in County Durham. “This innovative project will have significant environmental benefits – making use of currently untapped heat to keep houses warm, and, in doing so, avoiding the need to use non-renewable sources of energy. “The affordable properties will also provide a welcome boost to County Durham residents looking to get on the housing ladder; while the prospect of more homes, a school and innovation hubs in the future will, we hope, attract people looking for somewhere to live, families and those seeking work.”
