Xylem Sparking A Renaissance

With our original research, entitled Powering the Wastewater Renaissance, we outlined how the wastewater sector could cut energy consumption and reduce related harmful emissions with existing proven technologies. Nearly 50 percent of the electricity-related emissions from the global wastewater sector could be abated at a negative or neutral cost. This translates to a potential global volume of 44 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent that could be abated annually.
