Recording // EU Sustainable Energy Week 2021: Fully exploiting the water-energy nexus: Measuring energy savings & CO2 reduction
This is the recording of the session 'Fully exploiting the water-energy nexus: Measuring energy savings & CO2 reduction' that took place at the EU Sustainable Energy Week on October 27, 2021. It discusses the question: How to quantify energy savings and related emission reductions from smart water management and water efficiency measures?
Overview
Water and energy are highly interdependent (‘water-energy nexus’): energy is needed to abstract, distribute, heat, cool, treat and desalinate water while water is also needed for energy production and cooling systems. In the EU, the water and wastewater sectors account for 3.5% of electricity consumption. At the level of municipalities this takes the largest share of the local budget, representing 30-40% of the total electricity bill. During this session, a high-level panel of speakers discusses how to fully realize this energy saving potential in view of the recent and future policy and regulatory framework.
About EUSEW
The EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) is a month-long series of activities to build a secure energy future for Europe. It brings together public authorities, private companies, NGOs and consumers to promote initiatives to save energy and move towards renewables for clean, secure and efficient power.
