Climate Smart Water and Wastewater Companies | GIZ, BMU, IKI

Water and wastewater companies are among the largest consumers of energy in developing countries and emerging economies. This can partly be attributed to high losses of water (50-60 per cent) and energy (40 per cent). Many water and wastewater companies in Jordan, Mexico, Peru and Thailand use outdated and energy-intensive treatment technologies and pumps. In addition, opportunities for recovering energy and nutrients from wastewater are not exploited.

The project introduces technologies to reduce greenhouse gas in water and wastewater companies, thus improving their CO2 balance. Furthermore, it supports climate protection efforts in the water sector by integrating the water and energy sectors with regard to emission reduction and climate resilience.
