The Nexus between Water and Energy

“Energy production consumes

significant amounts of water; providing

water, in turn, consumes energy. In a

world where water scarcity is a major

and growing challenge, meeting future

energy needs depends on water

availability –and meeting water needs

depends on wise energy policy

decisions.” (World Policy Institute and EBG Capital, March 2011)

Energy needs water

Energy production depends on water some 580 billion

cubic metres of freshwater are withdrawn for energy

production every year (IEA, 2012)

Water is used for primary energy production as well as

power generation esp. for cooling at thermal power plants

Extraction, transport and processing of fuels and

irrigation to grow biomass feed-stock are also water-

intensive

Key uses of water for primary production (IEA, 2012)

Water needs energy

Energy is vital to providing freshwater needed to power

systems that collect, transport, distribute and treat water.

(US Department of Energy, 2006)

Decision-making at the Nexus: The Key Challenge for

post-2015 Development Framework and SDGs

Energy decisions have a broad range of impacts on

water, with consequences for business, security,

environment, social equity and development.

Identifying these interrelationships presents

opportunities for policy makers, business leaders,

investors, non-governmental organizations for informed

policy and governance to address related problems and

global challenges (e.g. climate change, food and energy

security or eliminating poverty).

Challenges

Global energy demand is expected to grow by more than one-third

over the period to 2035, with China, India and the Middle Eastern

countries accounting for about 60% of the increase. Electricity

demand is also expected to grow by approximately 70% by 2035

Global water demand (in terms of water withdrawals) is projected

to increase by some 55% by 2050, mainly because of growing

demand from manufacturing(400%), thermal electricity generation

(140%) and domestic use (130%)

It is not surprising that the 5th World Water Development Report

identifies industry as one of the thematic challenges in addressing the

water and energy nexus.

5th World Water Development Report -

solutions to tackle challenges

improving water use efficiency;

extending wastewater treatment;

recycling and reuse;

enhancing effective water governance;

appropriate transboundary cooperation

Transfer of Environmentally Sound

Technologies - TEST Methodology

Objective: Support sound management of resources use at

priority industrial hot spots, to minimize use of resources and

maximize productivity through the demonstration of best

practices, application of clean technologies, and capacity

building.

The methodology demonstrates that

industries can achieve economic

benefits through the application of best

environmental practices and resource

efficiency.

TEST Global Application

Context

The TEST integrated approach was developed by UNIDO in

2000, it was implemented in 5 countries in the Danube River

Basin.

The TEST methodology aims to improve environmental

management and competitiveness of companies (primarily

SMEs) in developing countries and economies in transition.

TEST consists of five management tools aimed at changing

practices in industries/companies in a comprehensive way in

order to ensure the adoption of environmental practices.

MED – TEST Project

Overall Objective: Build national capacities in UNIDO-TEST integrated approach and conduct pilot projects within priority industrial areas affecting the Mediterranean basin to demonstrate the economical/environmental benefits of resource efficiency and sustainable production.

Countries: Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt

Funding: 2.1 M USD - GEF, Italian Government

Coverage: 43 industries, 7 industrial sectors

Duration: 2009-2012
