Enabling Greenhouse Gas Mitigation
Tracking of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from activities related to water treatment has changed pace and focus over the years. Prior to the 1990s, GHGs were not a concern for the industry, which at that time was more looking at methane capture as an energy source. In the 2000’s the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) began including wastewater treatment in GHG inventories, and out of this, researchers began quantifying methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) from treatment activities.
Supporting Sustainable Aquaculture with Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring
Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) have become central to the future of sustainable fish farming. As the global demand for seafood grows, RAS offers a controlled and efficient method of production with reduced environmental impact. However, producers face ongoing challenges related to fish health, mortality, disease management, and compliance with environmental regulations. Issues such as parasites, taxes on biomass, and the need for continuous growth in production have placed added pressure on the industry to operate more efficiently and sustainably.
