Climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most serious challenges that mankind is facing. Substantial reduction in emissions must be achieved, with responsibility to be shared by all industrial sectors. Wastewater systems contribute to greenhouse gas emissions through not only energy consumptions but also direct emissions of fugitive greenhouse gases such as nitrous oxide. This project aims to provide knowledge and technology support to the Australian wastewater industry to minimize the emission of nitrous oxide during biological nitrogen removal from wastewater. This is critically important for this industry to achieve greenhouse gas neutral wastewater management.

由温室气体排放引起的气候变化是人类面临的最严重挑战之一。必须大幅度减少排放，所有工业部门都应分担责任。废水处理系统不仅消耗能源，而且直接排放一氧化二氮等易散性温室气体，从而造成温室气体排放。该项目旨在为澳大利亚废水处理行业提供知识和技术支持，以最大限度地减少废水生物脱氮过程中一氧化二氮的排放。这对于该行业实现温室气体中性废水管理至关重要。
