Methane is produced during the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter in wastewater. Efficient treatment processes reduce the amount of organic matter that decomposes anaerobically, thereby lowering methane emissions. Advanced treatment processes also minimize the formation of nitrous oxide, which can occur during nitrogen removal processes in wastewater treatment.\n2.\tReduced Energy Consumption:\n  Efficient wastewater treatment technologies often use less energy compared to traditional methods. Energy consumption in wastewater treatment plants is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels for electricity. By adopting more efficient processes, the energy demand decreases, leading to lower CO2 emissions from power plants.\n3.\tResource Recovery and Reuse:\n  Modern wastewater treatment processes can recover valuable resources, such as biogas (methane), which can be used as a renewable energy source. This not only provides a clean energy source but also reduces reliance on fossil fuels. Additionally, nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus can be recovered and reused, decreasing the need for synthetic fertilizers, which are energy-intensive to produce.\n4.\tPreventing Environmental Degradation:\n  Untreated wastewater can contaminate water bodies, leading to the eutrophication of lakes, rivers, and coastal areas. Eutrophication results in the overgrowth of algae, which depletes oxygen in the water and produces methane when it decomposes. Efficient wastewater treatment helps prevent such environmental degradation, thereby reducing methane emissions from aquatic systems.\n5.\tReduction in Sludge Volume:\n  Efficient treatment processes often result in lower volumes of sludge, which is the solid by-product of wastewater treatment. Sludge management and disposal can produce significant greenhouse gas emissions, especially if it is not treated or disposed of properly. Reducing the volume of sludge minimizes these emissions.\nIn adition Oxygenchain has been involved in several positive impact projects in Shanty-towns to help reduce contamination level in our oceans .\n", "hidden": false, "question": "Please provide 2-3 top impacts your project had in the past 12 months.

Inefficient systems, lack of resources, and centralized environmental agencies all contribute to falling short of a solution people deserve.\n\nTwo main reasons for the failure of current initiatives are; lack of transparency and misaligned incentives. Because data is opaque, it is: difficult to validate, hard to enforce results, and creates a lack of accountability. \n\n# *Proposed Solution*\nIncentivize the monitoring of our most valuable resources using real-time data collected through multi-parameter IoT sensors, flow rate meters and more to create an immutable record of history, while calculating differences from incoming and outgoing readings to generate rewards.  Oxygenchain is ready to power new economies with tangible results providing accountability, transparency and emphasizing efficiency to the public.\n\nBy proving that their activities are not contaminating the planet, participants will receive a reward, which will encourage them to continue to operate in an environmentally friendly manner.\n\n# *How It Works*\nThe rewards system incentivizes municipalities, industries, small companies and property owners to comply with environmental regulations and provides a clear way for them to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/S34Poz2.jpg)\n Oxygenchain aims to create a platform that encourages environmental responsibility and helps mitigate the impact of pollution on our planet.\n![](https://oxygenchain.earth/public/tech/map_aug2024.jpeg)\n\n[System overview] ![](https://i.imgur.com/K00FwcY.gif)\n\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17[Boots on the ground Oxygen Chain proof-of-concept](https://vimeo.com/727499681)\n\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17[General introduction video Oxygen Chain](https://vimeo.com/716186625/6803625f71) \n# *The Team*\n![](https://oxygenchain.earth/public/team/team001.jpeg)\n![](https://oxygenchain.earth/public/team/team002.jpeg)\n# *Now In Europe*\nOxygenchain has collaborated with pioneering leaders in the water treatment and recycling sector in Portugal which resulted in the successful development and installation of an oxygen-ready water treatment and recycling system for car washes and gas stations, contributing to effective waste treatment and water conservation.\n\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17 (https://vimeo.com/853900433)\n# *Oxygen Residential*\nWe have concluded the installation of Oxygenchain\u2019s inaugural residential participant at Gardens apartments in Rio de Janeiro, marking a significant milestone. While industrial waste is a grave concern, the residential segment is equally pivotal. Global statistics by PhD researcher Edward Jones notes that about 359 billion cubic meters of wastewater, equivalent to 144 million Olympic-sized swimming pools, are produced annually, half of which remains untreated. Shockingly, one in three housing units in Brazil lacks sewage treatment.\nIn the United States, the EPA has introduced flexibility for cities, permitting delayed or altered federally mandated fixes to sewer systems, which contributes to continued sewage dumping into rivers. Oxygenchain recognizes these critical issues and remains committed to addressing them.\n![](https://oxygenchain.earth/public/residential_001.jpeg)\n\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17 (https://oxygenchain.earth/residential)\n# *System Onboarding App*\nTo enhance our efficiency and streamline system setup, we have initiated the development of an onboarding app. Currently, the manual setup process requires the installation of sensors, PLC, oxygen nodes, and further component configurations. Our aim is to automate and simplify this, reducing the manual work associated with node setup, thus facilitating easier adoption as well as positioning Oxygenchain among apps focusing on data accuracy, reliability, and transparency\u2014integral aspects of blockchain-enabled applications. This categorization aligns with our commitment to providing trusted and verifiable data for water treatment systems, facilitating easier access for users seeking solutions in data measurement, reporting, and verification. It emphasizes our dedication to leveraging technology for environmental stewardship and operational efficiency.\n![](https://oxygenchain.earth/public/oxygen_app_001.jpeg)\n\n# *Mining initiative*\nThis collaboration involves partnering with mining companies to develop technology aimed at reducing costs and enhancing the efficiency of mining wastewater treatment.\n![](https://oxygenchain.earth/public/tech/mining001.jpeg)\n![](https://oxygenchain.earth/public/tech/mining002.jpeg)\n\n# *Increasing treatment efficiency in Vale do Encantado*\nOur recent evaluation project in \"Valley do Encantado\" one of the few shanty towns in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that actively treats its sewage. Despite their efforts, the existing biological treatment system has faced significant challenges due to recent population growth. Based on our evaluation, we have made several recommendations to upgrade and improve the efficiency of their sewage treatment.\n![](https://oxygenchain.earth/public/encantado/pip_encantado.jpeg)\n# *VIdigal's Shanty-town's sewage crisis*\nBrazil has over 11,403 shanty towns or favelas, with around 16MM living in them. Hardly any of them treat their sewage. Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian municipality with the largest number of these residents has over 763 favelas housing 1.5MM\u2026.22% of the total population.\n\n30,000 of these residents live in Vidigal, a Favela that has been contaminating the beautiful and popular beaches of Ipanema and Leblon for decades. This first milestone in this positive impact project is to raise awareness and track sewage flow.\n![](https://oxygenchain.earth/public/vidigal/pip_vidigal003.jpeg)\n\n![](https://oxygenchain.earth/public/vidigal/pip_vidigal002.jpeg)\n\n\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17\ud83d\udd17[https://vimeo.com/934647495) \n# *Roadmap*\n![](https://oxygenchain.earth/public/tech/oxygen_roadmap_2025.jpeg)\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "oxygenchain"}, "recipient": "0x99241E58B4c5835Fcd5963549A7a6D6852A57b5E"}}
