Projected freshwater needs of the energy sector in the European Union and the UK
This study estimates plausible projections of the long-term freshwater needs of the energy industries (that is, primary energy production and energy transformation in refineries and power plants) in all the EU Member States and the UK until 2050, according to the six energy scenarios publicly available. The projections are disaggregated at NUTS2 level for further analysis within the WEFE project. They are intended to be used in combination with other estimations of the freshwater requirements of other sectors (e.g. agriculture, public water supply) to assess the overall stress of water resources, and also in energy modelling analyses supporting the design of energy and environmental policies.
