Columbia University will produce clean water by removing nitrogen from wastewater streams through a process that uses up to 60% less energy and up to 80% less organic carbon, compared to conventional approaches. The new approach cleanses water through a bacterial process and advanced control solutions.

At each successive processing stage, the biomass is heated to a higher temperature profile and the material is compacted to a thinner layer with an increasing level of elemental carbon in the remaining biomass. This excess carbon is highly porous and has beneficial water and nutrient retaining capabilities. Earlier post.).

Land management trade-off: maximizing productivity vs. carbon stocks. The general assumption that bioenergy combustion is carbon-neutral is not valid because it ignores emissions due to decreasing standing biomass and contribution to the land-based carbon sink. NPP= net primary production. Schulze et al. Click to enlarge.
