Wastewater treatment plants can become a source of valuable resources, such as clean water, energy, fuels and nutrients thus contribute to the sustainable development goals transition circular economy. This be achieved by adopting advanced wastewater sludge techniques. However, these have evaluated on their sustainability avoid any unintentional consequences. Therefore, this paper presents life cycle assessment techniques integrating environmental, economic social aspects. The options considered for are: i) granular activated carbon; ii) nanofiltration; iii) solar photo-Fenton; iv) ozonation. technologies agricultural application anaerobically digested sludge; composted incineration; pyrolysis; v) wet air oxidation. results demonstrate that nanofiltration is most option if all aspects are equally important. If, however, higher preference given aspect, ozonation carbon would both comparable aspect more important, only nanofiltration. Among methods, technique mean-to-high resource recovery. If recovery rate lower, with incineration pyrolysis high respective products. work helps identify could combined conventional treatments promoting reuse across wide range operating parameters products outputs. findings also support notion use energy contained in urban wastewaters.

Abstract Data on urban water resources are scarce, despite a majority of the U.S. population residing in environments. Further, information energy required to facilitate treatment, distribution, and collection even more limited. In this study, we evaluate energy‐for‐water component energy‐water nexus by providing analyzing unique primary database consisting drinking wastewater utility flows energy. These anthropogenic fluxes through environment used assess state at over 160 utilities. The average daily per person flux is estimated 560 L 500 wastewater. Drinking utilities require 340 kWh/1,000 m 3 430 energy, respectively, treat these resources. total national demand for accounts 1.0% annual electricity consumption United States.

ABSTRACT Driven by rapid urbanisation, the Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei region (BTH) has experienced a dramatic increase in resource consumption and environmental strain. Investigating relationships among water, energy carbon can help balance efficient utilisation, conservation economic growth, while promoting sustainable urban development. This study develops an analytical framework for water‐energy‐carbon nexus within eco‐transformation. Specifically, this first illustrates conceptual model interaction water use, emissions theoretically, then examines dynamics urbanisation ecological transition of BTH region. Furthermore, empirical analysis was conducted taking Beijing city as case area to explore its decoupling with socio‐economic Results show significantly increased population scale, exerting substantial pressure on resources, supply environment.

Drinking water and wastewater utilities are in the business of making clean water, not using energy, ongoing energy transition is swiftly creating new challenges for which they unprepared. At this critical juncture water-energy nexus, Making Waves article explores how research community can support during as features like renewables, flexible loads, dynamic markets become standard. Researchers help implement existing management techniques yet widely practiced, including establishing policies, managing data, low-energy-intensity sources, participating demand response programs. New priorities pricing, on-site renewable-energy micro-grids, integrated forecasting. Water have adapted to many technological regulatory changes over years, with designs operations, will thrive a clean-energy future.
