Selection and prioritization of mitigation measures to realize climate neutral operation of a water cycle company

Abstract: Waternet, the public water cycle utility of Amsterdam and surroundings, has the ambition to operate climate neutrally in 2020. This requires a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 48 kton CO 2 -eq. An inventory was made of measures to realize the target either in 2020 or in 2050. For all measures the effects on GHG emissions and on costs were determined. To comply with two core values of Waternet -economic effectivity and sustainability -the measures were prioritized based on CO 2 effectivity, define… Show more

“…Waternet has conducted extensive research to evaluate the potential of different thermal energy recovery opportunities, especially on performing economic analysis, conducting pilot studies, and understanding the microbial risks of cold recovery from drinking water distribution systems . Many of the assessed thermal energy recovery opportunities are economically viable (Figure ), especially when combining with ATES systems which are abundant in The Netherlands …”

“…However, at the same time, it is stressed that more research is needed into environmental assessments of thermal energy recovery systems [7]. The potential of thermal energy recovery from the water cycle, including wastewater, surface water, groundwater and drinking water, has been estimated for Amsterdam and its surroundings, focusing on the possibilities to reduce carbon emissions [8][9][10][11]. A specific thermal energy source appeared to be the cold water in the drinking water distribution network [12].…”
