What if all that waste you send to the tip had a value? What if I told you that we can end landfill and could reduce your rates? At a time when energy security and cost of living pressures are biting hard pyrolysis just makes sense. Watch this space as Justin and myself start to lift the lid in pyrolysis. #canberra #innovation #wastemanagement #costoflivingcrisis #jobs #leadership
The benefits of pyrolysis extend beyond borders... Australia, particularly the A.C.T., can position itself as a global leader by exporting pyrolysis technology and expertise. It's already being looked at in Western Australia; let's ensure the rest of the country takes advantage of it. This isn't just about waste management; it's about fostering international partnerships to address shared environmental challenges. By tapping into circular economy practices, we create a thriving export industry and nurture a sustainable future. #circulareconomy #australia #energycrisis #pyrolysis #renewableenergy #energy #waste #scienceandenvironment #naturalresources #bioenergy

Sludge on the road for wastewater treatment? According to the World Bank, around 80 percent of the world's wastewater is discharged into the environment without adequate treatment. Wastewater treatment works (WWTW) are built to address this and treat wastewater before it is released back into the environment. However, over time, conventional wastewater treatment methods have more or less not changed. The treatment process typically involves four stages and integrates physical, chemical, biological, and combined technologies. Currently, novel solutions are being developed and commercialized, mainly targeted at the secondary and tertiary treatment phase, including approaches such as membrane bioreactors (MBRs), advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), and constructed wetlands as a nature-based solution. Furthermore, enhanced resource recovery of energy and nutrients (e.g., nitrogen; phosphorus) from sludge is explored via approaches such as anaerobic digestion (AD) for biogas production, microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology for electricity production, and struvite precipitation for phosphorus recovery. For these solutions, some headwinds are on their way. In the US, the Biden-Harris administration recently announced nearly $6 billion for clean drinking water and wastewater infrastructure, and water treatment and conservation startups raised $787 million in 2023, more than double the $343 million total funding raised in 2019, with companies such as Gradiant ($225 million Series D) and Allonnia ($30 million Series A) leading the stage. Still, enhancements in, among others, industry adoption timelines, government regulations, funding environments, and approval processes are needed for widespread industry implementation. → Dive into advanced wastewater treatment works (WWTW) with our latest Insights piece: https://t.ly/6iTR_ #WWTW #wastewater #climatetech #deeptech #deepsense #techduediligence #expertnetwork

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) has unveiled a new report. It highlights the underutilized potential of wastewater, revealing that just 11% of treated wastewater is reused, while nearly half of untreated wastewater still enters our natural water bodies, contributing to environmental and health issues. The report also states that with the right policies and management, wastewater can become an alternative energy source for millions. By generating biogas, heat, and electricity, wastewater can produce five times more energy than it consumes. Proper wastewater management can help nations adapt to climate change, reduce water insecurity, and offset a significant portion of the global agricultural nutrient demand by reusing vital nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This report also showcases successful wastewater management examples from countries worldwide and encourages governments and businesses to consider wastewater as a circular economy opportunity, offering job creation and revenue potential. At Moleaer, we're thrilled to see the report shedding light on the incredible potential of wastewater. Our nanobubble technology is poised to be at the forefront of this journey, and we're proud to be playing our part in wastewater innovation.

Spent more than a year evaluating this one and understanding the grounds up deep tech behind it with the help of Amrit Om Nayak and Krunal Patel. Glad to have got it right:) #climatetech #water #deeptech #founders #venturecapital #earlystage
Wastewater - it's electric! In this interview, Kelven Lam explains how electro-coagulation (EC) and electro-oxidation (EO) are two innovative ways to rid industrial wastewater of pollutants and why this technology could be the key to industrial wastewater management. 💦Key points: ⚡ EC removes more pollutants than alternative methods. ⚡ EO can treat a broader range of pollutants. ⚡ EO & EC require a smaller footprint, which is key for industrial companies in Asia, where space is often at a premium. 👀 Check out Indra, our latest portfolio company in this space! 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dFjaJts6 Helge Daebel Clayton MacDougald Julien Dillon, CFA Amrit Om Nayak Krunal Patel #wastewatersolutions #wastewatertreatment #wastewater #waterinnovation #waterindustry

Desalination: A Solution to Water Scarcity with Challenges and Opportunities Desalination is the process of removing salt from seawater or brackish water to produce freshwater. It is a potential solution to water scarcity, which is a major problem facing many parts of the world. However, desalination also has challenges and opportunities. Challenges of desalination - High energy consumption: Desalination is a very energy-intensive process. This can make it expensive to produce freshwater from seawater. - Environmental impact: The brine that is produced as a byproduct of desalination can be harmful to marine life. - Cost: The cost of desalination plants can be high, which can make it difficult for some countries to afford them. Opportunities of desalination - Increased access to freshwater: Desalination can provide access to freshwater in areas where it is scarce. This can improve the health and well-being of people and ecosystems. - Economic development: Desalination can boost economic development in areas where it is used. This is because it can create jobs and attract businesses. - Climate change mitigation: Desalination can help to mitigate the effects of climate change. This is because it can reduce the need to transport freshwater from other areas. Desalination is a promising technology with the potential to address water scarcity. However, it also has challenges that need to be addressed. These challenges include high energy consumption, environmental impact, and cost. As desalination technology continues to develop, these challenges may be overcome. In the future, desalination could play a leading role in providing freshwater to a growing population.
