The EMISI Final Dissemination Webinar, which presents key findings and reflections from the Emissions Measurement to Improve Sanitation in Indonesia (EMISI) project, is now available on EBNet’s YouTube channel, by kind request of the EMISI Project team.
EMISI activities involved extensive work on the direct empirical measurement of nitrous oxide and methane emissions from sanitation systems, including centralised plant and on-site treatment; assessments and projections at country level; and recommendations for mitigation options.
The webinar highlights:
- Direct emissions data and national estimates for domestic wastewater
- Strategic, technical, and policy recommendations for Indonesia’s sanitation and climate agenda
- Reflections on the relevance of EMISI’s findings for Indonesia and other Low and Middle Income Countries
 Speakers include:
- Prof Juliet Willetts (University of Technology Sydney)
- Dr Jeremy Kohlitz (University of Technology Sydney)
- Leanne Casey (University of Technology Sydney)
- Prof Barbara Evans (University of Leeds)
- Dr Cindy R Priadi (Universitas Indonesia)
- Akna M Ilmi, ST (Universitas Indonesia)
The full webinar recording is available HERE. A selected summary (13 mins) focusing on methods and findings is here.
EMISI is an initiative of the Indonesia Australia Partnership for Infrastructure (KIAT), supported by Australia’s Ministry of Public Works and Housing. The consortium included sanitation experts in Indonesia, Australia and the UK, based at UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures (UTS ISF), Universitas Indonesia (UI), the Centre for Regulation, Policy and Governance (CRPG), University of Leeds and University of New South Wales (UNSW).
In addition to the final dissemination webinar recordings, the Project has 3 key outputs:
- A technical note with methods for measuring and modelling sanitation emissions
- A report documenting findings and recommendations from EMISI
- A policy brief with policy recommendations
These are now finalised and awaiting DOIs: details will be circulated as soon as possible, so keep an eye on the N2O WG News tag
