Panel: Effects of CCS on the Energy Water Nexus

Clean and affordable energy and water are inextricably linked and are critical to the health, security, and development of society. Changes to the way that energy is produced will certainly impact the demand for water, which will have effects on other sectors of society. This panel will explore the impacts of climate change and adoption of CCS on water demand both at the plant and national scale. The panel will touch on the significant issues affecting the planning, management, and deployment of CCS technologies as a tool to mitigate climate change, as well as the demand it will put on existing constrained water supplies.
