The major part of untreated municipal waste water ending up in the Baltic Sea emanate from small- and medium-sized towns and municipalities in the Baltic states. Prioritized environmental effects when up-grading of municipal waste water treatment plants are reduced emissions of BOD, nitrogen and phosphorus, but also increased energy efficiency and thereby reduced use of mazut is an important criterion for this kind of projects.

NEFCO has financed about 20 renovations of wastewater treatment plants with environmental reductions.
