From wastewater to energy: innovations in action
Wastewater treatment has undergone a major shift. It’s no longer just about cleaning water — it’s about unlocking value. More and more treatment plants are achieving energy-neutral operations, and some are going even further.
So what’s next?
In this webinar, we explore the latest developments in the intersection of wastewater and energy. How can wastewater be used to generate energy — and which technologies are already making this possible?
What to expect?
- Keynote by Jules van Lier (TU Delft):
An overview of the current state of energy recovery from (waste)water, with a focus on anaerobic treatment technologies. - Short pitches from two frontrunners in the field:
- Levien de Legé (Torwash) – A thermal process that converts sludge into biogas and biofuel.
- Orianna Bretschger (Aquacycl) – A modular bioelectrochemical system that treats wastewater and generates electricity.
- Interactive session connecting technology developers and practitioners:
This session is designed to be two-way. As an end-user, your input is crucial. You know what works – and what doesn’t – in daily operations. Join the conversation, ask your questions, and share your experiences. It helps technology developers better align their solutions with real-world needs.
Who should join?
This session is part of our end-user platform, designed to connect innovators with professionals in the field. If you work in wastewater management, energy recovery or circular solutions – this webinar is for you.
This session is exclusively for end-users.
This event will guide you toward solutions to optimize your water technology – helping you stay ahead with innovation. (Please note: This webinar is not open to industry competitors.)
