Guiding document on benefits of REEF2W plants

The guiding document on the benefits of REEF 2W plants has been finalized, showing how to conduct suitable feasibilty studies. The document, developed by technical partners, describes the different steps of the assessment procedure, the (1) analysis of energetic efficiency (EE) of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for identifying optimization potentials, (2) the selection of technologies for generation of renewable energy (RES) at a WWTPs, the (3) definition of potential energy supply scenarios including and urban compatibility assessment (UCA), the (4) evaluation of the economic feasibility of the intended supply scenarios and (5) the evaluation of the environmental benefits related to the different supply scenarios.

REEF 2W Second project meeting – Vienna 

Boku University hosted the second project meeting of REEF 2W that it was held in Vienna on 14th 15th and 16th of February 2018. Partners discussed about the so called “Integrated Sustainability Assessment” that represents the framework for tools application in the strategic planning process aiming at the implementation of REEF2W solutions.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

REEF2W - Increased renewable energy and energy efficiency by integrating, combining and empowering urban wastewater and organic waste management systems

The REEF2W project  aims at developing and implementing solutions for increasing energy efficiency and renewable energy production in public infrastructures. REEF2W means to pursue this objective by combining and integrating the relevant public infrastructures of municipal solid waste chain with the waste water treatment plants (WWTP), and by upgrading their input mix and their energy outputs.

OBJECTIVES

shared sound knowledge

Establishing a shared sound knowledge about REEF 2W Systems. The project aims at creating a common ground of knowledge, collecting already existing technological information, skills and models for verifying the sustainability of the new proposed systems

increasing energy efficiency

Creating in target regions the conditions for increasing energy efficiency as well as production and usage of renewable energy, based on REEF 2W systems. Policies and actions will be carried out in order to set out the best framework conditions for REEF 2W systems implementation, and for removing current obstacles

new regional strategies

Development of regional strategies REEF 2W based on project’s pilots and policy makers involvement. The final objective indeed is to create a service to be integrated with other public services in order to obtain WWTP that, in addition to purifying water, is  not only energetically self-sufficient but even a source of renewable energy

OUTPUTS

Strategies and action plan

One  action plan will be drafted in order to capitalize the experience gained with the activities of the five pilots of the feasibility demonstration of REEF 2W solutions. Project partners in charge of the pilots will create an action plan to continue the sharing of knowledge through the design of a REEF 2W platform

Training Sessions

5 training course in 5 different region will be organized. The training courses means  to provide complete information on how to apply REEF2W tools and methodologies in order to assess the feasibility of the pilots suggested by the utilities. Training courses will address technical employees from utilities, associated partners and relevant stakeholders

tools

Tools for measurement of EE&RES improvements and urban compatibility assessment for the new plants will be developed. The software tool N.1 will aim at estimating EE-RES potential and the Software tool N.2 will be used for matching the urban location compatibility

Pilot Actions

5 pilot feasibility studies of different REEF 2W models will be realized. Pilots will demonstrate how the new REEF 2W solutions lead to an abatement of energy needs and to a significant increase of renewable energy production
