תיאור כללי: |
Objective: To gather information that will help utilities estimate the carbon footprint of water reuse and desalination facilities. These estimates may support the development of a more accurate carbon footprint models for water reclamation and desalination. The maximum amount of funding available from the Foundation for this project is $25,000. A carbon footprint is defined as the total set of greenhouse gases emissions, in carbon equivalents, causedby an organization, event, product or person. Several studies based on very general assumptions about energy have demonstrated the use of reclaimed water may reduce greenhouse gas emissions versus conventional water sources. Conversely, a frequent objection to desalination facilities is the carbon footprint is ‘too large’ because of the energy requirements from conventionally generated electricity. |
