Workshop 6: Water Sector Decarbonisation and Carbon Circularity

While the water sector has gone through different stages of revolution, from reclaiming used water to recovering resources, there remains a leap for the next step of achieving carbon neutrality or negative emission. This workshop provided an overview of the challenges and strategies of the water sector’s pathway to net zero emissions, developments in the green energy sector, process innovations in desalination and wastewater treatment to reduce carbon emission and implementations of late-stage research technology. A panel of utilities, companies and associations from developed and developing countries then discussed challenges and key strategies to net zero.
