New energy and resources from urban sanitation

The overall objective of the NEREUS project is to increase the reuse of resources, water and energy from wastewater by boosting the adoption of technologies that recover resources, water and energy from wastewater in urban areas. A demonstration framework and an institutional framework will be developed to increase the adoption and acceptance of resource recovering technologies. The major change the project will make is to show and to convince cities, regions, waterboards and citizens the benefit of implementing resource recovering solutions to reuse wastewater. The urban context shows residents directly what these technologies can do. This can accelerate the adoption of these resource recovering techniques and can contribute to a 'circular economy'.
