dc.description.abstractWastewater treatment operations are energy-intensive and often require operational and design optimisation to improve their energy efficiency. The application of an energy benchmarking approach presents opportunities for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to reduce costs by enabling energy savings and energy recovery, whilst at the same time identifying operational issues for WWTP personnel to focus on to improve plant performance. Energy benchmarking broadly seeks to help the water sector identify and adopt best practice efficiency in the pursuit of better industry performance. This chapter provides an assessment of electricity-related greenhouse gas emissions from Australian wastewater treatment operations since energy benchmarking efforts began and a future outlook for best practice WWTP energy performance and benchmarking in the water sector.
