Leading ESG Impact in Water Treatment

Committed to UN SDGs

Sustainability Impact from Fluence's Installations

Fluence technologies are highly energy efficient (MABR, desalination) and lower CO2 and other harmful contaminants

Many wastewater treatment technologies emit Nitrous Oxide (N2O): 300x worse than CO2 - Fluence MABR emits nitrogen: installed systems currently save 314 tons/year of N2O emissions, equivalent to 93,600 tons of CO2

A decentralized approach using Fluence MABR to solve the world's wastewater needs would result in increased access to clean water and wastewater Potential annual energy savings of 2 TWh, equivalent to 150 million tons CO2

Fluence is committed to ESG and delivers on 9 of the 17 UN SDGs
