Decentralised water technologies

这项计划赠款将通过采用最新的生物科学和能源工程来加快分散供水技术的交付。它将重写工程生物学的新兴设计规则，以确保离网环境生物技术可以自信地进行配置。定制的微生物治疗社区将使用一套新的高通量合成生物学启发的实验平台来进化。对于农村人口和英国群岛以及发展中国家，从曼谷郊区到亚马逊和加拿大北极，我们将开发特定地点的离网综合供热/供水技术。我们将为远程分布式水利基础设施开发低成本传感器、实时监控和自适应控制。我们将与水技术公司一起，分析如何配置和控制一整套技术，以塑造分散供应的新模式。苏格兰水务公司将投入大量资金，共同创建农村示范者和可持续社区的移动技术示范平台，并与诺森布里亚公司、威尔士水务公司和其他公用事业公司和利益相关者一起，为水务行业一个全新的低碳分散未来建立动力。我们与利益相关者合作，从社区到立法者，寻求激励社区主导的基础设施解决方案，并以平衡当地利益相关者需求和基础设施去碳全球目标的方式修改监管。我们将与专业机构和创新中心合作，创建全球离网供水卓越中心，以推动变革的动力和激情；帮助实现2050年净零碳和可持续发展目标6。

This Programme Grant will accelerate the delivery of decentralised water technologies by bringing the most up-to-date bioscience and energy engineering to bear. It will re-write emerging design rules for engineering biology to ensure that off-grid environmental biotechnologies can be configured with confidence. Bespoke microbial treatment communities will be evolved using a new suite of high-throughput synthetic-biology inspired, experimental platforms. For rural populations and UK Islands and in the developing world, from sub-urban Bangkok to the Amazon and Arctic Canada, we will develop site-specific off-grid integrated heat/water technologies. We will develop low-cost sensors, real-time monitoring and adaptive control for remote distributed water infrastructure. With water technology companies, we will analyse how suites of technologies can be configured and controlled to shape new models for decentralised provision. Scottish Water will invest significantly in co-creating rural demonstrators and a mobile technology-demonstration platform for sustainable communities and with Northumbrian, Welsh Water and other utilities and stakeholders we will build momentum for a radically new low-carbon decentralised future for the water industry. Working with stakeholders, from communities to legislators, we seek to incentivise community-led infrastructure solutions and to modify regulation in ways that balance local stakeholder needs and global goals for decarbonising infrastructure. Working with professional bodies and innovation centres we will create a global centre of excellence in off-grid water provision, with the drive and passion to deliver transformational change; helping to deliver 2050 net-zero carbon and Sustainable Development Goal 6.
