The traded water footprint of global energy from 2010 to 2018

Scientific Data, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 8(1)

Published: Jan. 11, 2021

Abstract The energy-water nexus describes the requirement of water-for-energy and energy-for-water. consumption water in production generation energy resources is also deemed virtual water. Pairing estimates for with international trade data creates a network, facilitating analysis global management. In this database, we identify footprints eleven different commodities including fossil fuels, biomass, electricity. Additionally, provide necessary scripts downloading pairing to create network. resulting database contains country-to-country from 2010–2018, broken down by commodity. purpose descriptor detailed methods validation dataset beyond complementary research publication. provides opportunities understand energy-related demands advance future research.

Assessing Transboundary Impacts of Energy-Driven Water Footprint on Scarce Water Resources in China: Catchments under Stress and Mitigation Options

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 57(26), P. 9639 - 9652

Published: June 21, 2023

The energy supply chains operating beyond a region's jurisdiction can exert pressure on the availability of water resources in local area. In China, however, there is lack transboundary assessments that investigate effects consumption stress within and across river basins. this study, we therefore impacts scarce are induced by demands (i.e., electricity, petroleum, coal mining, oil gas extraction, production). We develop bottom-up high spatial resolution inventory link it to 2017 multiregional input–output (MRIO) table China analyze chain use at provincial basin levels. find energy-driven footprint accounts for 21.6% national usage, which 35.7% water. Nonelectric power sectors contribute around half nation's transfer. identify three sets catchments whose stressed demand, i.e., (a) from northern Hai River Basin eastern part Yellow Huai Basin, (b) area Northwest Rivers, (c) developed coastal city clusters Yangtze Pearl Basin. then evaluate eight mitigation options, may potentially shift moderate- or high-stress areas Rivers low moderate (or even low) stress. highlight need collaboration sustain water-constrained demand targeted measures mitigate basin.

Food, energy, and water nexus: A study on interconnectedness and trade-offs

Energy Economics, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 133, P. 107521 - 107521

Published: April 4, 2024

This study finds interesting outcomes regarding the interlinkage between food, energy, and water sectors. The UN's Food Agriculture Organization data from January 1961 till 2023 are employed for six variables, namely Total Renewable Water resources per capita (TRW), Internal (TIRW), Withdrawal (TWW), Global Consumption (GFC), Crop Production (GCP), Electricity (GEC). Employing Quantile Vector Auto-Regression (QVAR) methodology, we observe asymmetry in connectedness across quantiles. Positive shocks produce stronger impacts variables than negative ones. production mostly acts as a receiver of shocks. is consistent net emitter all circumstances, while withdrawal crucial during regime well neutral time.
