A 3-day Intensive Course on Understanding, Quantifying, and Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Formerly known as Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Urban Wastewater Systems, this 18-hour course introduces the principles of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in urban wastewater systems. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of GHG generation, quantification, and mitigation, alongside practical skills in carbon accounting and data analysis. Designed to address a strong interest in net-zero and GHG emissions, this course combines theory, real-world case studies, and hands-on activities to address emissions challenges and promote sustainability.
What You Will Learn:
Day 1 – Foundations of GHG Emissions in Wastewater Systems
- Urban water cycle and potential sources of GHGs.
- Understanding Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and how they are generated.
- Principles of carbon accounting and practical tools.
- Interactive workshop using Excel and ECAM tool for carbon footprint calculation and reporting.
Day 2 – Quantification Techniques
- Plant-wide and unit-specific quantification techniques for nitrous oxide (N₂O) and methane (CH₄) emissions.
- Real-world scope 1 quantification case studies.
- Interactive workshop on Carbon footprint evaluation and comparison.
Day 3 – Overcoming Challenges and Mitigation Strategies
- Scope 1 emission mitigation strategy framework and real-word case studies.
- Overall carbon management and pathways towards net-zero in wastewater systems
- Course wrap-up and actionable next steps.
What’s Included:
- Comprehensive course notes and resources.
- Access to leading experts and hands-on exercises.
- 18 CPD hours for professional development.
