Abstract
The study presents analysis of the carbon footprint (CF) in six medium and large-size municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) located across Poland. The novelty of the presented study is searching the relationship between level of energy neutrality and CF in the case studies. Although energy and CF go hand-in-hand to some degree but moving towards energy neutrality in WWTPs might also lead to an increase in the total CF of the plant. A comparative study of CF has taken place by taking into account both direct and indirect emissions for each WWTP. At the end a correlation between level of energy neutrality and the ratio of the indirect to direct emissions has been found.
