Water, Waste & Energy

Today is my first blog, I have been reading about energy efficiency at the oil endgame website . you can download a free summary.

It's an interesting hypothesis that improvements in energy efficiency can eliminate a good deal of waste and once it's adopted on a massive scale, will cause demand of oil to weaken and therefore price.

In the area of water and waste water, about 70% of the electricity in a waste water plant is consumed in the aeration of waste water. Oxygenated waste is broken down by bacteria to eliminate organic matter in the waste water. Therefore getting even a 10% efficiency in the performance of aeration will result in significant savings of energy.
