ENFORCE
Energy & Resource Recovery from Wastewater for Circular Economy
What we do
Wastewater is recognised as a renewable energy resource, and the source of many other nutrients that can be recovered and can contribute to achieve circular economy targets. However, current wastewater treatment plants & management practices in the region are not efficient enough to recover energy and nutrients that wastewater contains. ENFORCE aims to develop a resource efficient wastewater management model that will reduce water and environmental footprint of wastewater treatment provisions in the NPA regions to ensure sustainability.
