The second webinar of our four-part Process Emissions series will focus on methane (CH4) emissions from wastewater treatment, sewers, and anaerobic digestion processes—exploring the mechanisms of CH4 formation and the conditions and practices that increase emissions. It will also cover leading practices for the direct measurement of methane, enhancing understanding and control over this potent greenhouse gas.
Moderator:
Jessica Akande, Canadian Water Network
Speakers:
Trung Le, Brown and Caldwell

The Process Emissions Webinar Series is designed for wastewater professionals looking to deepen their understanding of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from wastewater treatment processes. Treating wastewater and sewage sludge produces direct greenhouse gas emissions, including methane and nitrous oxide, which have far greater warming potential than carbon dioxide. As society increasingly adopts renewable energy sources over fossil fuels, these emissions are expected to become the leading source of greenhouse gas emissions for wastewater utilities. Consisting of four one-hour sessions, the series will cover the types and sources of GHGs from wastewater treatment, the process conditions and mechanisms that drive these emissions, real-world approaches to measuring, monitoring, and quantifying these emissions, and practical strategies for reducing them.
The series is organized by the US Water Alliance and Canadian Water Network, hosted by The Water Research Foundation, and presented in collaboration with the Danish Water Technology Alliance, Water Environment Federation, and the International Water Association.
