N₂O Planning, Site Ranking and AI Monitoring

Identifying which wastewater treatment plants should be prioritized for N₂O mitigation can be challenging, especially when measurements are limited and generic emission factors are inaccurate.

Cobalt Water developed the N2ORisk Decision Support System (N2ORisk DSS), an AI and machine learning platform that estimates N₂O emissions using available operational data. The system analyzes historical plant data, generates insights and produces a ranked list of sites based on emission risk and mitigation potential.

This allows utilities to focus monitoring and mitigation efforts where they will have the greatest impact, accelerating progress toward reducing N₂O emissions.
