Biogas and photovoltaic solar energy as renewable energy in
As wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) contribute to climate change by emitting greenhouse gases (GHGs), this study estimated the total GHG emissions of WWTPs by classifying
Their do exist very few medium scale solar photocatalytic wastewater treatment plants which are environment friendly compared to the existing conventional systems. Treatment of wastewater using solar energy reduces the use of conventional power there by reduces emission of GHG.
In addition to GHG emission reduction potential, economic performance is another important factor to consider in practical applications of PV systems in the water sector. As such, ROI, PBP, and MAC of these cases are calculated and analyzed.
In China, although PV panels are typically installed on top of treatment facilities, they do not bring direct interferences on treatment process but a physical shading which has a minimal impact on biological treatment process.
Notably, the Wuhan Beihu WWTP, commissioned in mid-2022, set a new record for “PV+” projects with a total installed capacity of 23.7 MWp (Fig. 2 (c)), covering approximately 185,000 m 2 of plant space with 44,643 PV panels, providing about 20 % of the plant's daily energy needs [24, 25].
