In our white paper, written by Product Manager Wastewater Otto Icke MSc. Eng and Process Engineer and Consultant Ellen van Voorthuizen, we examine the research which we have been undertaking for more than 12 years, and the direction we need to take towards the mitigation of greenhouse gas emission.
Wastewater utilities around the world have set ambitious goals to tackling greenhouse gas emissions, to become carbon neutral by 2030. That being said, the contribution of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, also known as laughing gas, is becoming a more pronounced part of the carbon footprint of wastewater treatment works (WwTW).
While carbon emissions from grid electricity will decrease as more electricity is produced from renewable sources, the contribution of nitrous oxide and methane emission will become a more pronounced part of their carbon footprint. And, as N2O is 265 times as potent as carbon for heating the atmosphere and causing climate change, the need to reduce emissions is higher than ever.
