Carbon Footprint Implications from Biosolids Management Practices
01/27/2010 - 2:00 - 4:00 pm EST
Introduction:
This National Biosolids Partnership (NBP) webcast will bring together wastewater utilities and regulators who will explore the regulatory environment, implications of land application of biosolids for reducing carbon footprint and costs, green aspects of biosolids processing and use, and a case study of how a utility’s biosolids program got green. Join NBP for the first of four free quarterly webcasts based on critical biosolids technical topics.
Participants Will:- Learn how land application affects a utility’s carbon footprint;
- Understand how bioenergy options were assessed and evaluated to aid in decision-making
- Identify critical regulatory and other factors
