The Water Research Foundation is seeking applications to explore tradeoffs between process optimization, greenhouse gas mitigation, and energy efficiency.
Objectives
- Develop a framework for integrated evaluation of benefits (e.g., GHG emissions reduction, energy efficiency) and costs (e.g., CAPEX, OPEX, social cost of GHG emissions) for wastewater and water utilities.
- Provide a harmonized benchmarking framework to assess the value of existing treatment systems.
- Offer recommendations for reducing GHG emissions through energy-efficient technologies, process optimization, and new treatment processes.
Funding Information
The maximum funding available from WRF for this project is $200,000. Applicants must contribute additional resources equivalent to at least 33% of the project award. The anticipated period of performance is 24 months from the contract start date.
Expected Deliverables
- Literature review synthesis document.
- Summary of case studies and utility survey.
- User-friendly guidance document for minimizing GHG emissions.
- Recommendations for future research needs.
- Webinars, conference presentations, and fact sheets.
- One open access peer-reviewed journal paper.
Eligibility Criteria
Proposals will be accepted from U.S.-based and non-U.S.-based entities, including educational institutions, research organizations, governmental agencies, and consultants. Note that researchers who are late on ongoing WRF-sponsored studies without approved extensions are ineligible.
