5 The Priority for Action 6 ème «Harmonize Forum mondial Energy de l eau and Water» will be structured around 8 targets TARGETS COORDINATOR Energy for Water Target 1 : Energy efficiency of water and waste water services Target 2 : Energy efficiency of desalination plants IWA IDA Target 3 :Resilience of water supply services to volatility of energy prices Droit à l'energie Target 4 : Water footprint of energy production EDF Water for Energy Water/ Energy Nexus Target 5: Sustainability criteria for Hydropower schemes Target 6: Water impact of oil & gas exploration & production Target 7: Biofuels and water management. Target 8: Fostering awareness and dialogue among decision makers on water/energy nexus. IHA IFPEN Round Table on Sustainable Biofuels (EPFL) Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy 9 6 ème Forum mondial de l eau Focus on target 1 Detailed wording (SMART formulation): Voluntary policies and indicators are effectively implemented by public authorities and water utilities of cities totalling xx inhabitants, aiming at a minimal improvement of xx% of the energy efficiency of urban water systems in 5 years Composition of the Target and Solution Group (open): Leader : IWA Members : ICLEI, World Bank, DANVA, European Environmental Agency, Water Supply and Sanitation Technical Platform, Lund University, Aqua Publica Europea, Consulting Engineers, Suez Environnement, Veolia 10

6 Suggested action 6 ème plan Forum for mondial target de 1 l eau Before Marseilles Identification of existing initiatives, lessons learnt Definition of relevant indicator(s) for measuring progress (at system level) Advocacy and information package for decision makers At Marseilles (2 hour session) Presentation of the package Launch of a website for exchange of good practice / registration of commitments Signing of energy efficiency roadmaps / commitments over 5 years by a few pilot cities After Marseilles 100 (?) large cities sign up and report at the 7th WWF (2015) 11 What indicator for progress 6 ème Forum monitoring mondial de l eau at city (system) level? Criteria for indicator design Measurement of net energy consumption by the utilities(energy consumed less energy exported) Usable for each of the basic activities (integrated or separately): Drinking water production Drinking water distribution Waste water collection Waste water treatment Indicator designed for measuring progress over time (vertical benchmarking), not for absolute comparisons (horizontal benchmarking) Proposal : weighted average of the progress on kwhe/m 3 for each of the 4 activities (present value / initial situation) 12

7 6 ème Forum mondial de l eau Example : average figures for Suez Environnement (baseline : year 2010) Scope (population served worlwide) : Drinking water : 91 million Waste water : 60.8 million Average energy consumption : Drinking water production : 0.36 kwhe/m 3 Drinking water distribution : 0.80 kwhe/m 3 Waste water collection : 0.06 kwhe/m 3 site specific Waste water treatment : 2.1 kwhe/kg BOD removed (including 20% of extra consumption for process specific nitrogen removal where relevant) Average energy generation from waste water : t CO 2 equivalent 13 Example of a relevant solution for target 1 : Degrés Bleus Heat recovery from wastewater in the public wastewater collection systems 24% diminution in consumption of non renewable energies due to production of thermal energy 66% reduction of greenhouse gases emissions Several projects under construction in France and abroad (Elysée Palace, Levallois Perret, Valenciennes, Berlin etc.) 6 September 2011 Energy Efficiency at the 6th World Water Forum (Labre) Figures: Installation Degrés Bleus installation in Levallois (France) 14
