English

A hybrid bioelectrochemical process integrates hierarchical carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus metabolism with power generation and reusable water production. The system achieves effluent COD meeting Class III surface water standards, a power density of 0.43 W/m2, and net negative carbon emissions of -0.413 kg-CO2/m3. It offers a sustainable wastewater treatment prototype, especially for low-resource areas pursuing carbon neutrality.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters

日本のGX文脈において

日本の下水・排水処理分野でも脱炭素は重要課題であり、省エネ型処理技術への関心が高い。本成果は低資源地域向けだが、電力回収と栄養塩回収を組み合わせたシステム設計は、日本の中小規模処理施設や国際展開の参考になり得る。

In the global GX context

The water sector increasingly needs credible decarbonization pathways. This study provides quantitative evidence of net-negative carbon wastewater treatment, supporting NDC delivery and circular economy goals. It is relevant to global discussions on water infrastructure decarbonization and sustainable sanitation in low-resource settings.

📄 Abstract(原文)

Bioelectrochemical system (BES) can provide sustainable solutions for wastewater treatment through lower energy consumption, reduced carbon emissions, and nutrient capture and reuse. Herein, we propose a hybrid bioelectrochemical assembly (HBA)-centered purification-power-cultivation process to achieve hierarchical C, N, and P metabolism, graded power generation, and reusable water production. The hybridization of abiotic and biotic cathode BESs in HBA enables hierarchical C metabolism, with effluent COD directly meeting the Class Ⅲ surface water standard. The customized water-permeable biofilm separators sequentially create anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic zones within HBA, enabling complete N removal. Subsequently, the P-rich tailwater of HBA is channelled into a hydroponic irrigation system for P utilization, ultimately producing reusable clean water. Notably, a high power density of 0.43 W m–2 is obtained, and this process achieves a net carbon emission of –0.413 kg-CO2 m–3. This study presents a prototype for sustainable wastewater purification, particularly in low-resource areas with carbon emission reduction and carbon neutrality targets. Reducing carbon emissions from wastewater treatment is crucial for sustainable development. Herein, the authors propose a hybrid bioelectrochemical process capable of simultaneous C, N, P control, power generation, and reusable water production, ultimately achieving negative carbon emissions.
