Sustainable water treatment – towards net-zero biotechnologies minimizing GHG emissions (nitrous oxide, N2O)

University of Glasgow College of Science and Engineering

Greenhouse gases are emitted during water treatment, specifically nitrous oxide (N2O) which is almost 300 and worse than CO2. Hence, minimizing N2O emissions is of outmost interest in our global aim to meet the net-zero greenhouse gas emission objectives and become carbon-neutral biotechnologies. . Read more
