Reinventing activated carbon regeneration for a circular and low-carbon water sector

REGENIOUS is an EU-funded project developing a portable, modular and electricity-driven solution for the regeneration of spent granular activated carbon used in drinking water, wastewater and industrial treatment. By replacing conventional fossil fuel-based thermal regeneration with on-site electrochemical regeneration, REGENIOUS aims to reduce energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, transport and waste while extending the useful life of activated carbon.
