INCOPA publishes its Extended LCA Report
25 April 2025
INCOPA releases the "Carbon Footprint Assessment of Chemical and Biological Phosphorus Removal." This study, conducted by IVL, builds upon 2 previous IVL reports on products and on processes carbon footprints.
Key findings reveal that chemical phosphorus removal has a lower climate impact due to reduced electricity consumption and higher biogas production. The report highlights the potential for achieving energy neutrality in wastewater treatment plants, favouring chemical methods over biological ones.
This report provides valuable insights for wastewater treatment plants aiming to meet stricter effluent limits and improve sustainability.
