Abstract:In this contribution we quantify the potential to reduce the discharge of excess nutrients with European wastewater, by modelling pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and the costs of measures under various scenarios. We analyse two types of strategies, namely extending the requirement of nutrient removal to broader areas and increasing the removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus. As the former strategy usually entails some infrastructural investment while the latter entails an optimization of the existin… Show more
