Turning food waste into fuel at wastewater treatment plants
With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, Anaergia is transforming waste into renewable energy, leading the charge in combating climate change with their innovative biogas extraction technology. Biogas can be a potent source of greenhouse gases — or a powerful weapon in the fight against climate change. Anaergia Inc. wants to make sure it’s used for the good of the planet. As Sasha Rollings-Scattergood, Anaergia’s VP of Technology, explains, when you digest organic material anaerobically, you [...]
Turning mining wastewater into treasure
With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, H2nanO is leading the way with its SolarPass technology, offering a groundbreaking solution for mining wastewater treatment. Mining operations use water for everything from extracting ore to transporting slurry. In the process, that water gets loaded with contaminants that must be removed before it can be released or reused. But if you take the right approach to treatment, you don’t just end up with cleaner water. You can also [...]
