Characterization of grey water, external environmental costs and cost-effective measures for reduced environmental impact
Research Project, 2022
– 2024
The project aims to:
i) map the use of chemicals on board ships and sample different sub-flows of greywater on ships operating in the Baltic Sea.
ii) analyse the greywater with regard to chemicals and nutrients.
iii) use life cycle assessment (LCA) and willingness-to-pay studies to determine the external costs caused by discharges of chemicals and nutrients due to deterioration of the marine environment.
iv) develop installation, investment and operating costs for different greywater treatment technologies
v) assess whether requirements for the treatment of grey water are a cost-effective measure in comparison with requirements for the treatment of other emissions from shipping
