Goal and impact
Nitrous oxide is a strong greenhouse gas. Nitrous oxide emissions from sewage treatment plants account for a large part of the climate impact of water boards. The purpose of this algorithm is to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from RWZI Amsterdam West. Using this algorithm on one of the seven streets of RWZI Amsterdam West will reduce nitrous oxide emissions.
Considerations
The benefits of this algorithm is to significantly reduce nitrous oxide emissions.
Advantages:
- Reduce nitrous oxide emision
Human intervention
- The algorithm is activated, deactivated and controlled by the company executives.
- The training data is carefully selected and reviewed by in-house experts.
Risk management
- The algorithm is bounded by the business operators.
- The operation of the algorithm is assessed by a human
