The datasets contain data required to obtain a distribution of profitable phosphorus recovery processes in the Great Lakes area for scenarios considering phosphorus credits (USD/kg P recovered) and renewable energy credits (USD/MWh) (Figure 4); an economic evaluation (USD) of P recovery processes for different incentives scenarios (Figure 5); compare the total cost of phosphorus recovery (USD/kg P) for different incentive scenarios (electricity incentives in USD/MWh and phosphorus credits in USD/kg P recovered) and the environmental remediation cost due to phosphorus releases (Figure 6); allocate incentives (USD/kg P) for achieving the economic neutrality of nutrient recovery systems minimizing the total cost of incentives (Figure 7); and the distribution of incentives (MM USD/year) considering the Nash allocation scheme assuming available incentives equal to the 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 100% of the incentives needed to cover the economic losses of unprofitable P recovery systems in the Great Lakes (Figure 8).
