“The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced it has awarded $27.5 million for 16 water infrastructure projects. The goal of all these projects is to reduce energy use and carbon emissions in our aging water infrastructure, particularly in wastewater treatment.
For one of the projects ($2 million over three years), DOE‘s Argonne National Laboratory, along with lead organization University of Chicago, Northwestern University and other partners, will be developing an artificial intelligence-assisted system for recovery of energy, nutrients and freshwater from municipal wastewater.”
