1 Water for energy: Life cycle comparisons James Meldrum University of Colorado Boulder Institute of Behavioral Science Western Water Assessment 1 Prepared for webinar presentation for the International Water-Energy Nexus (IWEN) Deepdive on Quantitative Comparison of Water for Energy October 13, 2015 All rights reserved.
2 Background Meldrum, Nettles-Anderson, Heath, and Macknick (2013). Life cycle water use for electricity generation: a review and harmonization of literature estimates. Environmental Research Letters 8: James Meldrum Syndi Nettles-Anderson Garvin Heath Jordan Macknick 2
3 Data provenance and limitations >2000 potential sources screened, 138 provided usable estimates Key limitations of approach: Boundary conditions and definitions of life cycle stages differ Spatial, temporal, and other real variations in water use not captured 3 source: Meldrum et al. 2013
4 Electricity generation technologies Solar photovoltaic (PV) Concentrating solar power (CSP) Geothermal Coal Natural gas Nuclear Wind Natural Gas, 27% Nuclear, 19% Oil Biofuels Hydropower* Oil, 0.7% Hydropower, 6% Wind, 4% Biofuels, 2% Coal, 39% US Net Generation (all sectors), 2014 [EIA.gov] Geothermal, 0.4% Solar (PV or CSP), 0.4% 4

13 Power plant water consumption 200 water consumed (gal/mwh) Coal Natural Gas Nuclear Geothermal CSP C-Si (crystalline silicon) Other (primarily thin-film) Wind Thermoelectric Solar PV 13 source: Meldrum et al. 2013
14 Sensitivity to key parameters 14 source: Meldrum et al. 2013
15 Summary All electricity production pathways require water Power plant operations dominate water use for most pathways Mostly for cooling, which has a consumption/withdrawal tradeoff Fuel cycle water use is smaller but non-negligible for coal, natural gas, nuclear, oil, and especially biofuels Water use for power plant equipment Is negligible for coal, natural gas, and nuclear Is non-negligible for some (CSP, geothermal) And is majority of life cycle water use for PV, wind Estimated water usage can vary greatly within pathway due to local conditions, industry practices, and data quality Location and timing of water usage in each life cycle phase matters! 15
