Understanding the water use of power production is an important step to both a sustainable
energy transition and an improved understanding of water conservation measures …

Virtual water describes water embedded in the production of goods and offers meaningful
insights about the complex interplay between water, trade and sustainability. In this Review …

Energy use and CO 2 emissions are inextricably linked. Energy utilization leads to an
increase in CO 2 emissions, which will in turn limit the formulation of energy policies and …

Water is consumed in the generation of electricity and then transmitted, virtually, across the
electric grid, creating a network of water transfers. Virtual water transfers of electricity are an …

In the present study, both water depletion and degradation in the life cycle of power
generation at coal-fired power plants in China are quantified using a mixed-unit input-output …

Large numbers of China's thermal power plants are in water-stressed regions. Changes in
the availability of water resources due to climate change may impact the vulnerability of …

Water is essential for thermal energy and electricity generation. To help clarify water–energy
interdependencies in China, a life-cycle water footprint evaluation framework was …

The large amount of electricity generation is exerting tremendous pressure on water
resources. Moreover, the spatial mismatch between water and electricity demand is …

It's anticipated that future expansion of energy industry in China will inevitably exert
enormous pressure on water use both at home and abroad, due to the globalized energy …

Electricity is an important output of the global energy system. Large amounts of water can be
consumed in the process of producing electricity. This article focuses on how that water is …
