Using hydropower from effluent to generate energy in wastewater treatment plants:
How can wastewater treatment plants reach carbon neutrality?
Wastewater treatment plants are central to a carbon neutral future, and could even become producers of green energy.
and
Effluent is continuously discharged from wastewater treatment plants, but little is being done to harness this source of kinetic energy. The plant provides a unique opportunity for the use of hydropower turbines, because it provides most of the necessary infrastructure for their installation. Moreover, wastewater treatment plants contribute meaningfully to global warming, so becoming energetically self-sufficient can help in the fight against climate change.
