Cleantech is currently clustered in six industry sectors: energy, water and waste water, advanced materials, energy efficiency and manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture.
The new initiative expands the partnership by adding waste water, a sector thought to be responsible for 9% of anthropogenic methane emissions.
But at the same time, private sector involvement in water provisioning and waste water treatments seems to have become mainstream in transitional China.
A huge range of applications is targeted/has been targeted such as the agricultural sector, veterinary analysis, beverage industry, fermentation industry, waste water management, monitoring of environmental pollution, microbial contamination, clinical diagnosis, drug monitoring and analysis, mining, military and defence sectors, aerospace personnel safety and many others.
The usage of fresh water in the industrial sector has been immense, often leading to large volumes of contaminated waste water to be disposed of.
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) is a key indicator of pollutants in waste water from the agricultural, industrial and household sectors and its abatement has become a key requirement in China.
Finally the results are relevant for drinking water supply, waste water disposal and water pollution control even if the requirements differ within the various sectors.
It's my right to waste water.
Much of that water becomes waste water, which creates problems.
