The Water Research Foundation (WRF) is seeking applications for its Beyond Net Zero: Advancing Interdependencies Between Utility Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions and Water-Energy-Food Nexus.
This project is funded by The Water Research Foundation (WRF) as part of WRF’s Research Priority Program.
Objectives
- Develop a decision support framework and operational guidelines for WRRFs (Water Resource Recovery Facilities) to achieve Net-Zero Carbon and beyond (e.g., through Water-Energy-Food nexus).
- Synthesize case studies worldwide (e.g., North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia) that can help demonstrate the applicability of decision support framework for broader uses.
Funding Information
- Applicants may request up to $200,000 in WRF funds for this project.
- The anticipated period of performance for this project is 24 months from the contract start date.
Expected Deliverables
The outcome of this study is a comprehensive literature review, rigorous analysis framework and supporting tool, and synthesis of case studies for WRRFs to implement strategies across the WaterEnergy-Food nexus to support net zero GHG emission goals.
Eligibility Criteria
Proposals will be accepted from domestic or international entities, including educational institutions, research organizations, governmental agencies, and consultants or other for-profit entities.
