The untapped power of water is all around us. From run-of-the-river applications to wastewater treatment plants, pulp & paper plants or any application where there is water flow, the kinetic energy can be harnessed with small hydroturbines to help your operation run more sustainably and cost effectively by generating electricity on site. Whatever your goal is, whether to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or generate an additional revenue stream, installing hydroturbines provides a wide range of sustainability and cost benefits with excellent returns on your investment.
Small but mighty
Ambitious net zero initiatives and a global commitment to lowering carbon emissions have made clean energy more important — and urgently needed — than ever before. Every source of renewable energy must play a role, especially hydropower. Small hydropower is an accessible solution that can deliver powerful results in large quantities.
At Xylem, we’ve worked with hydro turbines for nearly 40 years, in addition to over a century of experience in pump water technology. We’re uniquely equipped to provide you with holistic small hydropower solutions through our family of Flygt submersible hydro turbines.
Meeting clean energy goals will demand more from all renewables
The impacts of climate change today are impossible to ignore. As a result, countries around the world are prioritizing renewable energy initiatives, with many committing to net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. The world’s dependence on fossil fuels has also come under intense scrutiny, further accelerating the need to transition to clean energy. To achieve sustainability goals using sustainable hydropower is essential.
International Hydropower Association Membership (IHA)
Xylem is proud member of International Hydropower Association Membership (IHA) since 2023 making joint efforts of the organizations’ mission to advance sustainable hydropower by building and sharing knowledge on its role in renewable energy systems, responsible freshwater management and climate change solutions.
