Research Impact

The inter-relationship of water and energy, known as the Water-Energy Nexus, as received increasing attention in recent years. Current energy production methods require large amounts of water, and meanwhile, the portfolio of energy and fuels is expected to broaden as new and emerging technologies become established. This project identifies how recycled water can play a role in new, emerging energy industries, as well as existing and growing industries.

Originally funded as WERF project Reuse-08-12.
