Energy and GHG/Emissions Management
Energy use and emissions are shaping the future of utility management. Rising costs, tighter air quality regulations, and climate goals are pushing agencies to rethink how they operate. Effective greenhouse gas and energy management allows utilities to control expenses, reduce environmental impacts, and prepare for a lower-carbon future. Carollo helps utilities assess opportunities, identify clear pathways for action, and integrate practical solutions into system planning and operations. Our approach connects sustainability with financial performance, turning environmental goals into measurable results and helping clients future-proof their infrastructure against evolving risks and regulatory pressures.

GHG Management & Climate Action Planning
We help clients quantify and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions through tailored inventories, mitigation strategies, and climate action planning designed specifically for water and wastewater systems.
Energy Supply & Management
We evaluate energy efficiency, on-site generation, and renewable energy strategies to help utilities reduce costs, lower emissions, and improve resilience.
Air Quality and Odor Assessments
We offer end-to-end services for air quality and odor management, from regulatory permitting to design and monitoring, to support community and environmental compliance.
Biosolids and Biogas Utilization
We optimize biosolids and biogas reuse strategies to offset energy costs, reduce GHG emissions, and support circular, sustainable operations.
Addressing Climate Impacts in Water Infrastructure
Carollo helps water and wastewater agencies cut emissions, reduce energy use, and future-proof their infrastructure. From GHG inventories to energy master planning and energy-efficient design projects, we provide clients with actionable strategies to meet regulatory requirements, enhance operational efficiency, and achieve climate action goals. Our services include air quality and odor control, biosolids and biogas treatment and utilization, and advanced tools like I-FLOAT for nitrous oxide measurement. Whether it’s full-facility planning, integrating renewable energy, or designing systems for net-zero operations, our solutions help utilities reduce their environmental footprint while staying resilient and adaptable in an evolving energy landscape.
Inflatable Fast and Lightweight Off-Gas Analysis Technology (I-FLOAT)
Carollo’s I-FLOAT system helps wastewater treatment facilities improve aeration efficiency, reduce energy costs, and track greenhouse gas emissions in real time. This compact, portable system makes off-gas testing easier and more precise, delivering accurate measurements of oxygen transfer efficiency and direct emissions, including nitrous oxide. I-FLOAT data helps utilities fine-tune aeration system performance, optimize blower and diffuser sizing, and avoid unnecessary energy use. With aeration often accounting for more than half of a facility’s energy demand, these insights can drive significant savings while lowering a plant’s environmental footprint. I-FLOAT turns real-time data into practical solutions for smarter, more sustainable operations.
