1 SHARING THE WATER USES OF MULTIPURPOSE HYDROPOWER RESERVOIRS The SHARE concept By Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 Matinée de clôture à la Maison Minatec, Grenoble, France

2 CONTENT SHARING THE WATER USES OF MULTIPURPOSE HYDROPOWER RESERVOIRS: THE SHARE CONCEPT The water-energy nexus The EDF-WWC Framework on multipurpose Example: the Durance-Verdon valleys in France Take-away messages Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 2

3 THE WATER-ENERGY NEXUS Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 3

4 WHAT IS THE WATER-ENERGY NEXUS? Energy needs water, water needs energy: the dependencies in both directions are set to intensify rapidly. The availability of water affects the viability of energy projects and must be considered when deciding on energy options. And the dependence of water services on the availability of energy will impact the ability to provide clean drinking water and sanitation services Water for Energy linkages Energy for Water Water is needed for all phases of energy production, for fossil-fuel extraction, transport and processing, power production and irrigation of feedstock for biofuels. Water can also be produced as a by-product of fossil-fuel production. Energy is required for a range of water-related processes, such as water transport, wastewater treatment and desalination; and, energy can be produced as a by-product from wastewater treatment Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 4

5 GLOBAL WATER DEMAND BY SECTOR Water withdrawal: The volume of water removed from a source; by definition withdrawals are always greater than or equal to consumption Water consumption: The volume withdrawn that is not returned to the source (i.e. it is evaporated or transported to another location) and by definition is no longer available for other uses Source IEA, 2016 * Primary energy production includes fossil fuels and biofuels Agriculture remains the primary source of global water demand, but other sectors gain ground The energy sector, including power generation and primary energy production, is often included in the industry sector in analyses of water use. Energy is considered separately here, an approach which shows that, in 2014, primary energy production and power generation accounted for roughly 10% of total worldwide water withdrawals and around 3% of total water consumption Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 5

6 WATER FOR ENERGY The power sector is by far the largest source of water withdrawals although in terms of consumption, primary energy production is larger Energy-related water withdrawals and consumption, 2014 Source IEA, 2016 Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 6

7 WATER FOR ENERGY Water withdrawals in the energy sector, 2014 Source IEA, 2016 Power generation is by far the largest source of energy-related water withdrawals Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 7

8 WATER FOR ENERGY Source IEA, 2016 Water use for electricity generation by cooling technology The intensity of water use varies widely across the power sector Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 8

9 WATER FOR ENERGY Source IEA, 2016 Water use for primary energy production Crops used for biofuels can have high water intensities Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 9

10 WATER FOR ENERGY Global water use by the energy sector by fuel and power generation type in the New Policies Scenario from 2014 to 2040 Source IEA, 2016 Energy-related water withdrawals rise by less than 2% to 2040, but consumption rises by almost 60% Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 10

11 ENERGY FOR WATER Energy use for various processes in the water sector Source IEA, 2016 Seawater desalination and wastewater treatment are the most energyintensive processes in the water sector The amount of energy required varies. It is influenced by a range of factors, such as topography, distance, water loss and inefficiencies, and the level of treatment necessary Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 11

12 ENERGY FOR WATER Electricity consumption in the water sector by process and region, 2014 Source IEA, 2016 The water sector accounted for 4% of global electricity consumption in 2014 Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 12

13 ENERGY FOR WATER Water supply by source by region, 2014 Source IEA, /3 of global water withdrawals in 2014 were from surface water, with most of the remainder from groundwater Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 13

14 ENERGY FOR WATER Electricity consumption in the water sector by process Source IEA, 2016 Electricity consumption in the water sector increases by 80% over the next 25 years Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 14

15 THE EDF-WWC FRAMEWORK ON MULTIPURPOSE Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 15

17 CONTEXT: HYDROPOWER AND MULTIPURPOSE More than ¾ of the large dams/reservoirs do not have hydro as a purpose Single = 74% Hydro = 20% 75% of large dams/ reservoirs do not have hydro Multi = 26% Hydro = 39% Hydropower reservoirs often contribute to other purposes Irrigation Drinking water supply Navigation, Flood control, Drought mitigation, Recreational activities, Fisheries/ aquaculture, Environmental services Etc. Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 17

18 THE SHARE CONCEPT: A SOLUTION FOR SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF MULTIPURPOSE RESERVOIRS Sharing the water uses of multipurpose hydropower reservoirs should rely on the following principles Shared vision, shared resource, shared responsibilities, shared rights & risks, shared costs & benefits SHARE CONCEPT S SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH FOR ALL USERS H HIGHER EFFICIENCY AND EQUITY AMONG SECTORS A ADAPTABILITY FOR ALL SOLUTIONS R RIVER BASIN PERSPECTIVES FOR ALL E ENGAGING ALL STAKEHOLDERS Emmanuel BRANCHE 9 December 2016 DAUTREPPE Demain l énergie 18
