Anglian Water reduces capital carbon by 63 % to accelerate its transformation with Appian
investments and to better serve its more than 7 million customers in the east of England . Totex Delivery Workflow ( TDW ), a custom cloud-based workflow application built on Appian , provides real-time and relevant data insights on projects , from smart meters installation and maintenance to pipelines and pumping stations .
Appian has announced that Anglian Water is leading the way in its use of data and low-code to move towards its net-zero goals .
One of the largest water and water recycling companies in England and Wales by geographic area has achieved more than 63 % capital carbon reduction and is on target to achieve net-zero operational carbon emission by 2030 .
Anglian Water uses the Totex Delivery Workflow ( TDW ), a cloud-based solution built on the Appian Low-Code Platform , to manage and monitor thousands of capital-intensive projects to reduce its environmental impact and create better value for customers .
Anglian Water first partnered with Appian in 2019 to gain more visibility into its
TDW ensures Anglian Water employees have access to the metrics they need to make accurate decisions without the lengthy delays that hampered its previous system .
Appian is also helping Anglian Water reach its 2030 net-zero carbon emission goal by empowering employees to make informed decisions based on real-time insights to create a more sustainable business . Through TDW and its Capital Carbon Programme to track energy utilisation , assets and costs , Anglian Water has concluded that reduced carbon equals reduced cost .
New figures reveal mobile operators ’ push for renewable energy
power their networks to meet sciencebased targets The new analysis released by the GSMA , using data from 33 operators , covering 86 countries and approximately 50 % of global mobile connections , shows tangible results , with renewable electricity use increasing across the mobile sector :
Figures from the GSMA have revealed that global mobile operators are making strong progress in maximising the use of renewable energy in their networks .
However , a survey indicates that access to an additional 64 terawatt-hours ( TWh ) of renewable electricity – roughly equivalent to Austria ’ s annual energy usage – will be required by operators globally by 2030 , as they seek to decarbonise their energy supplies . These requirements were detailed in the recent GSMA Access to Renewable Energy Policy Paper .
The mobile industry was among the first to commit to achieving net zero by 2050 and since COP26 mobile operators have been scaling up the amount of renewable electricity used to
• European networks are leading globally , purchasing on average 71 % renewable energy
• Mobile networks in 41 of the 86 countries surveyed use more than 75 % renewable energy
• Mobile networks in 29 of the 86 countries use less than 25 % renewable energy
• 32 % of renewable used by operators is procured through power purchase agreements with energy generators
• 63 % is achieved via renewable energy certificates from electricity markets
• 4 % results from self-generation of renewable electricity
