Description

Report of a technology assessment on current and proposed technological approaches toward reducing freshwater consumption in energy production. This assessment examined the current state of technologies that are either available or being developed to reduce freshwater consumption or that employ alternative water sources in hydraulic fracturing and in the process of generating electricity in thermoelectric power plants. It also examined regional water stress distributions and water usage in thermoelectric power generation across the U.S. to identify how water-scarce regions in the U.S. could benefit from the applications of these technologies. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
