Wastewater is an inevitable by-product in human production and life. And with development of human society and enhancing of urbanization level and citizens living standards, wastewater quantity will sharply increase. Greenhouse gas (GHG) from wastewater treatment will drastically do, too. In especial CO2, its emission quantity is most, its greenhouse effect is highest among GHG from wastewater treatment. But current wastewater treatment engineering does not relate to GHG in the design and operation process. In the case of global climate change, obviously the problem of CO2emission from wastewater treatment has to be solved. And because of this the paper sum up China and other country's research results, current status, and future direction.

In recent years, anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) technology has been considered as a very appealing alternative for wastewater treatment due to its significant advantages over conventional anaerobic treatment and aerobic membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology. The paper provides an overview of the current status of the anaerobic membrane bioreactor technology with a special emphasis on its performance and drawbacks when applied for domestic and municipal wastewater treatment. According to the reported data, the renewable energy produced at the plants (i.e. from methane) covered the energy demand for membrane filtration while the excess energy can be further utilized. Anaerobic membrane bioreactors are an attractive technology that needs further research efforts and applications at an industrial scale.
