Powering the Wastewater Renaissance: Emissions Reduction in Wastewater Management

Chronic underinvestment in wastewater infrastructure has resulted in aging, inefficient and fragile infrastructure that wastes energy, generates significant greenhouse gas emissions, and routinely fails. Xylem’s latest research, Powering the Wastewater Renaissance, shows that through smart technology investments the wastewater sector can cut its electricity-related greenhouse gas emissions by 50% and save nearly $40 billion that can in turn be reinvested towards additional upgrades in our outdated water and wastewater infrastructure.

Co-convened by Xylem, the European Water Association, and the IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, this event intends to collate a multi-stakeholder discussion (academia, municipalities, NGOs, regulators, private sector, etc.) to explore the opportunity, the challenges, and the potential solutions and next steps being driven by this transformation in wastewater management. This event will:

• Establish the industry knowledgebase on the topic of emissions abatement in the wastewater sector;
• Explore challenges and solutions to taking action on these opportunities; and
• Provide a platform for defining next steps and avenues for collaboration.
