GREENSCIES barking, London
Barking Riverside offers the potential to transform recoverable heat from local water works into warmth for 13,000 homes.
TURNING WASTE INTO WARMTH. because it makes sense.
Imagine a future where sustainability thrives, communities flourish, and the untapped potential of recoverable heat warms our homes. This is the vision we aspire to realise at Barking Riverside.
Central to the opportunity is the GreenSCIES approach to harness recoverable heat from Becton Water treatment works, an untapped resource with the potential to provide warmth and comfort to nearby homes, while significantly reducing carbon emissions.
With the potential for up to 13,000 homes in the area by 2037, including the already established 3,000 homes, Barking Riverside holds the promise of becoming a thriving community. But it's not just about the numbers; it's about creating a place where people can truly thrive—where social, environmental, and economic considerations intersect harmoniously. It's a big step towards a more sustainable, thriving future.
Building equitable Communities
This project is about more than just heating homes; it's about fostering a sense of community and empowering the people of Barking Riverside. By leveraging the recoverable heat from Becton, we have the potential to provide affordable heat to >5% of London homes.
Smart local energy systems have the capacity to supply the entire development as well neighbouring urban areas. The positive impact on the environment is immense, as we significantly reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and pave the way for a cleaner, healthier world for future generations.
electrifying Mobility
We envision a network of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure that supports not only personal transportation needs but also shared mobility and car clubs. By providing chargers initially for 250 public parking spaces and embracing vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology with infrastructure for future expansion, we can enable energy management that benefits the entire community, ensuring a sustainable and efficient transport ecosystem.

Connection
The impact of this GreenSCIES approach goes beyond infrastructure; it extends to the social fabric of the community. By investing in low carbon energy and sustainable practices, we attract like-minded individuals, businesses, and local organisations who share a common vision for a better future. Together, we can build a strong and connected community that takes pride in its commitment to environmental stewardship.

Thrivability
At the heart of our GreenSCIES approach is the belief in ”thrivability"—a concept that goes beyond sustainability, encompassing the holistic well-being of communities.
The feasibility study of Barking Riverside demonstrates a unique opportunity to create a model community, where thriving and sustainability go hand in hand.
Together, let's create a future we can be proud of—a future where Barking Riverside leads the way in sustainable living, inspiring other communities to follow suit.
