  • Energy's Water Demand
    Energy’s Water Demand: Trends, Vulnerabilities, and Management Nicole T. Carter Specialist in Natural Resources Policy November 24, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41507 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Energy’s Water Demand: Trends, Vulnerabilities, and Management Summary The nation’s energy choices embody many tradeoffs. Water use is one of those tradeoffs. The energy choices before Congress represent vastly different demands on domestic freshwater. The energy sector is the fastest-growing water consumer in the United States, in part because of federal policies. Much of this growth is concentrated in regions that already have intense competition among water uses. Whether the energy sector may exacerbate or alleviate future water tensions is influenced by near-term policy and investment decisions. These decisions also may determine whether water will limit U.S. capacity to reliably meet the nation’s energy demand. Part of the energy-water policy issue for Congress is identifying the extent of the federal role in responding to energy’s growing water demand. Currently, the energy industry and states have the most responsibility for managing and meeting energy’s water demand. The energy sector’s water consumption is projected to rise 50% from 2005 to 2030. This rising water demand derives from both an increase in the amount of energy demanded and shifts to more water-intense energy sources and technologies. The more water used by the energy sector, the more vulnerable energy production and reliability is to competition with other water uses and water constraints. Climate change impacts that alter water patterns may exacerbate this vulnerability in some regions.

  • Pathways to Sustainable Energy Accelerating Energy Transition in the UNECE Region
    UNEC E Pathways to Sustainable Energy Accelerating Energy Transition in the UNECE Region Energy underpins economic development and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and has a critical role to play in climate change mitigation. The recognition of the role that energy plays in modern society is highly signicant, however, there remains an important disconnection between agreed energy and climate targets and the Pathways to Sustainable Energy • Accelerating Transition in the UNECE Region approaches in place today to achieve them. Only international cooperation and innovation can deliver the accelerated and more ambitious strategies. Policies will be needed to ll the persistent gaps to achieve the 2030 Agenda. If the gaps are not addressed urgently, progressively more drastic and expensive measures will be required to avoid extreme and potentially unrecoverable social impacts as countries try to cope with climate change. This report uniquely focuses on sustainable energy in the UNECE region up to 2050 as regional economic cooperation is an important factor in achieving sustainable energy. Arriving at a state of attaining sustainable energy is a complex social, political, economic and technological challenge. The UNECE countries have not agreed on how collectively they will achieve energy for sustainable development. Given the role of the UNECE to promote economic cooperation it is important to explore the implications of dierent sustainable energy pathways and for countries to work together on developing and deploying policies and measures.

  • Can We Finance the Energy Transition?*
    CADMUS, Volume 2, No.4, April-May 2015, 162-183 Can we Finance the Energy Transition?* Ian Johnson Former Secretary General, Club of Rome; Member, Board of Trustees, World Academy of Art & Science Abstract The energy sector is pivotal to our aspirations for a sustainable planet and yet two major challenges face policymakers worldwide. The first is to decide what set of technical choices provide the best solution to meet social, economic and environmental agendas; and the second is to decide how these choices can be financed. The bulk of new energy demand will come from the emerging economies where energy demand is expected to increase by 40% over the coming three decades and to have doubled by the middle of the century. However for a number of reasons the investment needs of the energy sector are likely to rise even faster than overall energy demand. This is due to a number of factors over and above the increase in demand and described in the paper, including, inter alia, subsidized prices; the substitution of traditional energy for modern energy; the growth in peak demand in the electricity sector; the rising costs of securing primary energy resources; and the urgent need to replace vintage capital stock (including the decommissioning of nuclear power plants), especially in the developed countries. Clean energy investment will also incur high upfront investment costs in order to reduce long-term recurrent costs (fuel and maintenance). High priority must be given to energy demand management (both to reduce energy use and to reduce energy capital) and investment in upgrading of existing capital stock can provide strong and quick returns.

  • Strategies for Saving Energy at Public Water Systems (EPA 816-F-13-004)
    STRATEGIES FOR SAVING ENERGY AT PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS This document discusses energy issues facing public drinking water systems, steps that systems can take to understand and reduce their energy use and costs, and funding resources for energy efficiency. This document is intended for small to medium‐sized water systems as well as technical assistance providers and state programs that support or regulate these systems. How much energy do drinking water systems use? Providing safe drinking water is a highly energy‐intensive activity. At the national level, drinking water and wastewater systems account for three to four percent of U.S. energy use.i This is equivalent to 56 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) annually, and the generation of almost 45 million tons of greenhouse gases (GHG). At the community level, drinking water and wastewater systems are typically the largest energy consumers accounting for 25 to 40 percent of a municipality’s total energy bill.ii Approximately 80 percent of municipal water processing and distribution costs are for electricity.iii For drinking water systems, energy is needed for raw water extraction and conveyance, treatment, water storage and distribution. Energy usage can vary based on water source, facility age, treatment type, storage capacity, topography, and system size, which encompasses volume produced and service area. As illustrated in Figure 1, energy usage for a typical surface water drinking water system is 1,500 kWh/million gallons (MG), broken down as follows: 100 kWh/MG for conveyance; 250 kWh/MG

  • Transitions in Energy Efficiency and Demand Provides an Important Contri- Bution to the Energy Transition Literature, Correcting the Usual Bias Towards Energy Supply
    ‘Transitions in Energy Efficiency and Demand provides an important contri- bution to the energy transition literature, correcting the usual bias towards energy supply. Drawing on case studies of innovation, it highlights demand- side innovations in system change; and by using sociotechnical approaches, the case studies avoid the trap of thinking of innovation simply in terms of technical fixes.’ Nick Eyre, Professor, University of Oxford, UK ‘Transitions in Energy Efficiency and Demand is at the forefront of research on energy innovation and energy demand, providing new and in- depth insights into both technological and social change across a range of domains. Essential reading for scholars, policy makers, business leaders, stu- dents, and anyone else interested in a low-carbon, energy- efficient and low- demand energy transition.’ Marilyn Brown, Professor, Georgia Tech, USA Transitions in Energy Efficiency and Demand Meeting the goals enshrined in the Paris Agreement and limiting global temper- ature increases to less than 2°C above pre- industrial levels demands rapid reduc- tions in global carbon dioxide emissions. Reducing energy demand has a central role in achieving this goal, but existing policy initiatives have been largely incremental in terms of the technological and behavioural changes they encour- age. Against this background, this book develops a sociotechnical approach to the challenge of reducing energy demand and illustrates this with a number of empirical case studies from the United Kingdom. In doing so, it explores the emergence, diffusion and impact of low- energy innovations, including electric vehicles and smart meters. The book has the dual aim of improving the aca- demic understanding of sociotechnical transitions and energy demand and pro- viding practical recommendations for public policy.
