Measurement of nitrous oxide emissions at the Käppala Association

Käppala Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), located on Lidingö in Stockholm, is Sweden's third largest wastewater treatment plant and receives municipal wastewater from approximately 554,000 population equivalents (2024). The plant is located underground, which means that all process air can be collected and directed to a chimney.
