Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is at the centre of the debate on environmental sustainability and climate change. Many industries are implementing strategies to reduce CO₂ emissions, and the water treatment sector offers concrete solutions to decrease the carbon footprint.
With innovative technologies and optimised processes, WaterNext contributes to the decarbonization of the water sector by reducing energy consumption and the use of chemicals in water purification and distribution processes.
THE LINK BETWEEN WATER AND CO₂ EMISSIONS
Water management is an energy-intensive activity with a significant impact on CO₂ emissions. The main sources of emissions in the water sector include:
💧 Pumping and distribution of water: the energy required to transport water through aqueducts and water networks can represent one of the highest consumption items;
💧Wastewater treatment: sewage treatment plants generate not only CO₂, but also other greenhouse gases such as methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O), contributing to global warming;
💧Production and transport of chemicals: many water treatment processes require coagulants, flocculants and disinfectants, the production and transport of which increase CO₂ emissions.
