Sanitation & Climate ChangeSanitation & Climate Change

Global Warming Impacts on the BusinessGlobal Warming Impacts on the BusinessDirectly:• Unstable raining cycles and droughts, more evaporation at dams, more

consumption due to hot weather, more algi blooms, eventual spread of POPs/contaminants at watertables.

Undirectly:• Investments / expenses for accomplishing to S. Paulo State challeging targets

(20% reduction till 2025 – base line 2005);• Damage to installations (WTP in Franca and Campo Limpo were flooded in 2009).

• an electro intensive sector an electro intensive sector due to the needs in aeration at the wastewater treatment and for pumping water and sewage (more for water, that is distributed pressurized, than for sewage, that is mostly collected by gravity) – Sabesp is the major electricity consumer at São Paulo state, responsible for 1.82%;• the size at the economy: athe size at the economy: at Brazil, sanitation is responsible for 2.0% of the total GHG emissions t Brazil, sanitation is responsible for 2.0% of the total GHG emissions at 2005 (2.0% at 1990)at 2005 (2.0% at 1990). In absolute figures in 2005: 18107 Gg de CH4 e 639 Gg de CO2 . For comparison: gargage emissions mean 7.8% and industrial effluents 3.3%, (Source: Brazilian 2nd Nat. Com. to UNFCC – 2010). At the S. Paulo State Inventory the sanitation means 1.6% (26.5% of "Residues & Effluents" that means 6% of the GHGs issued at the state). The industrial effluents contribution is 1.1% and the industrial incinerators, 0.01%;

Key Role of the Sanitation SectorKey Role of the Sanitation Sector

The sanitation potentially reduces emissions as universalization comes through, due to several reasons:1) less methane generation at septic ditches and rivers beds (anaerobic degradation of settled solids from sewage discharges); 2) activated sludge treatment is the leading option for treatment. It is aerobic (generating mostly CO2) vs. anaerobic / facultative ponds (generating methane); 3) biogas from biodigesters to be burnt in general in flares or CHP plants abating methane.

Obs: the inventories do not show this trend as compile emissions from existing plants.

Positive inertia trend of the sanitationPositive inertia trend of the sanitation

• reducing water losses (leakages) and at the same time: 1) consu-ming less electricity (for pumping and treating); 2) avoiding investments for bringing raw water from even more far, with extra pumping costs;• promoting ciliary reforestation at rivers, lakes and dams and at the same time: 1) keeping the quality of the water natural resources, meaning less treating chemicals; 2) preventing erosion and so floods, flow reduction and poor quality by silting;• stimulating / inducing water rational use among consumers and at the same time: 1) creating a new service for the larger customers; 2) avoiding investments in developing new resources;• producing energy from dams and discharges level differences (hydropower with no new flooded areas);• burning WWT plants sludge and biogas and generating electricity and steam (heat for termophilic digestion meaning more methane and less sludge).Conclusions:Conclusions: Positive inertia on GHGs of the sanitation universalization, Positive inertia on GHGs of the sanitation universalization, besides social & environmental benefits.besides social & environmental benefits.

Sabesp carbon inventorySabesp carbon inventory

In 2008, Sabesp published its 1st Carbon Inventory pointing out 1.719.159 tonnes of CO2-e, ref. year 2007. The main source of direct emissions is the collection and treatment of sewage, corresponding to 93.2%. The 2nd most important are undirect emissions from electricity consumption: 3.7%.Note: the evaluation has followed the GHG Protocols.

Sabesp is the Brazilian leading sanitation company, proud to be in the Global Pact.The global warming will impact our business, affecting the rain cycle. So we are already taking actions for saving energy, reducing water losses, producing from renewables like biogas and hydropower at dams and sponsoring ciliary forest projects. Sabesp follows São Paulo State Policy on Climate Change, that express its commitment to overcome this challenge.We aim to do more and hope the world leaders agree a powerful compromise for dealing with this threat for the mankind and other species at Earth, our common home.

In 2009, 4,800 light and heavy vehicles from the service fleet were substituted by flex-fuel ones and alcohol feeding alcohol feeding was made compulsorywas made compulsory.The conversion brought 1.2 million liters savings per year, due to better performing engines and racionalization of the number of cars (1,605 owned vehicles decommissioned to 1,442 leased).The maintenance was streamlined with contract clauses related with performance.The share of alcohol at the total fuel purchased has increased from 17 to 28% (Obs: in Brazil the diesel contains 5% of biodiesel).The overall effect was an annual reduction of 1,200 t of CO2-e emissions.
