Renewable green energy potential from wastewater treatment facilities has spurred a tremendous amount of interest in an economy that faces ever increasing costs for energy. This no charge webcast will examine WEF's new position statement promoting green energy and present case studies from two wastewater facilities that are making strives to achieve zero net energy utilization to becoming a net energy producer.
Topics:- Renewable energy
- Biosolids
- Co-digestion
- Energy production
Participants Will:- Learn approaches being taken from an east and west coast wastewater agencies to achieve both zero net energy utilization to becoming a net energy producer
- Learn about WEF’s Role in Promoting Green Energy - Overview of New Renewable Energy Generation from Wastewater Position Statement
- Learn about biosolids energy recovery methods that are proven, available and emerging
