ENERGY EXTRACTION, PROCESSING INCLUDING REFINING, AND PRODUCTION ARE HIGHLY WATER-INTENSIVE.
WITH GLOBAL WATER SUPPLIES ALREADY STRAINED, THE SHIFT TO A WATER-SMART APPROACH TO ENERGY COULD NOT BE MORE URGENT.
Breaking a vicious cycle As these processes fuel climate variability, they reduce water availability and boost energy demand even further, producing a vicious cycle that will be hard to break.
The more stressed water resources become, the more energy the water sector demands, as groundwater must be pumped from greater depths, and surface water must be transported across longer distances.
With global water supplies already strained, the shift to a water-smart approach to energy could not be more urgent.
Climate change undoubtedly poses a potent – even existential – threat to the planet. But the current approach to mitigating it, which reflects a single-minded focus on cutting carbon-dioxide emissions, may end up doing...
