Abstract

Key findings

  • BES systems exhibit lower greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption compared to conventional wastewater treatment methods.
  • The environmental benefits of BES are influenced by factors such as wastewater composition, system design, and operational parameters.
  • A life cycle assessment of BES systems reveals a significant reduction in eutrophication potential and acidification potential compared to traditional treatment methods.
