Scientifically proven effectiveness with EmiCo. lite

Climate protection begins with precise measurement

With our EmiCo lite monitoring system, we make invisible emissions in wastewater treatment plants visible – scientifically proven and confirmed by independent Life Cycle Analyses (LCA).

Operational climate impact

The Impact Report shows

  • Up to 70% less nitrous oxide (N₂O) – a greenhouse gas that is 260 times more harmful to the climate than CO₂.
  • For each wastewater treatment plant (100,000 population equivalents), this corresponds to a saving of over 21,000 tons of CO₂ equivalents over ten years.
  • Additionally, optimized ventilation can save up to 20% energy .
Extrapolated to global use in wastewater management: More than 1 gigatonne of CO₂ equivalents could be avoided – a climate impact comparable to global air traffic.

CO₂ footprint of the system

The CO₂ Footprint Report proves this

  • The production of an EmiCo lite device causes only ~375 kg CO₂ equivalents over its entire lifespan.
  • The majority of the cost is attributable to raw materials (stainless steel, plastics, electronics).
  • Investment with multiple benefits : Every ton of CO₂ invested in the production of EmiCo lite avoids more than 60,000 tons during operation . This makes EmiCo lite one of the most effective levers for climate protection in wastewater management .

ESG added value for wastewater treatment plants

With these scientifically proven results, EmiCo.lite supports operators in achieving their ESG goals:

Environmental

Massive reduction of greenhouse gases and energy consumption

Social

Contribution to clean water and an intact environment

Governance

Transparent data basis for reporting and regulatory requirements

Closing statement

Variolytics makes the invisible visible – and delivers scientifically grounded solutions for climate-neutral water management.
