Title: The decarbonization and digitalization of water and associated industries 

Abstract: Water underpins every aspect of life and economy, and the water industry is in the middle of a paradigm shift toward decarbonization and digitalization. The water sector has a unique carbon footprint and contribution to a circular economy, as it directly and indirectly influences the operation and GHG emissions of other sectors such as energy, agriculture, and chemical industries. In this talk, I will share some of the recent progress in recognizing the roles and accomplishing the goals of water and wastewater in industry decarbonization including waste carbon valorization, carbon capture and utilization, electrolysis using impaired water sources, as well as how to use data science tools to optimize water infrastructure management and decision making.
