Water Quality Management
Water quality management is key action area of co-benefits projects. Wastewater discharged from some industries and households in urban areas may case waste pollution if not properly treated. However, by introducing integrated measures, chemical oxygen demand (COD) or biological oxygen demand (BOD) can be reduced and GHG emissions can be curbed (e.g. CH4 collection and energy utilization).
Wastewater Treatment Using a Thermophilic Anaerobic Digester at an Ethanol Plant in the Philippines
This CDM project will reduce methane (CH4) emissions from open lagoons, with total emission reductions are expected to be 95,896t CO2e/year. The project will also remove COD (90%) by treating wastewater.
