Work with Others
The Mine Water Heat Living Lab in Gateshead is a flagship project that embodies our mission to protect and enhance the environment while delivering long-term value for communities and minimising costs to the taxpayer. By transforming disused coal mines into sources of low-carbon heat, we’re supporting the UK’s clean energy transition and creating real, local benefits, from attracting investment to unlocking new jobs and enabling lower-priced heating costs.

Great Place to Work
Great people are at the heart of what we do – we can only deliver the important work we do to keep people safe, protect the environment and maximise opportunity if we can attract, recruit and retain them. To do that we have to be a truly ‘great place to work’ that attracts diverse talent across all parts of Great Britain and helps them to feel valued and respected with the opportunity to grow and develop.

Fit for the Future

We are evolving the technology behind these systems to ensure they remain resilient, future-proof and continue to help us make a better future for people and the environment in mining areas.

Deliver for Communities
We maintain and operate over 80 mine water treatment schemes so that we can treat at least 232 billion litres of mine water to prevent pollution of drinking water, rivers and the sea. Our mine water treatment scheme at Thorpe Hesley will contribute to the protection of water resources which are able to supply the equivalent of more than 550,000 peoples domestic water usage.
