On Monday, September 21, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Water Security Grand Challenge (WSGC) will host a webinar on the Wastewater Resource Recovery Prize, including Phase I winners, competition goals, and how those goals support DOE’s WSGC.
The Wastewater Resource Recovery Prize offers up to $1 million in cash prizes. It is designed to develop innovative, cutting-edge water treatment technology system configurations and business plans that will help lower the ultimate cost of treatment by extracting additional value from wastewater.
The Water Resource Recovery Prize, launched by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s (EERE’s) Advanced Manufacturing Office, was developed with feedback from industry stakeholders in response to a Request for Information issued by EERE in fall 2019.
