Projected changes in summer mean usable capacity of power plants in the US and Europe for the SRES A2 emissions scenario for the 2040s (2031–2060) relative to the control period (1971–2000). Compared to other water use sectors (e.g. Source: van Vliet et al. Click to enlarge. 19% in Europe and 4.4—16%

Annual methanol consumption in China, 2000-16. Methanol, like ethanol, is an alcohol with inherent issues such as its solubility in water and corrosiveness. The estimates developed in the study have now been incorporated into EIA’s historical data and forecasts of petroleum and other liquids consumption in China. Click to enlarge.

Bitumen production from the Canadian oil sands provides a point of reference that could be used to observe and better manage the land and water impacts of a rapid transition to unconventional fuels, suggests Dr. Sarah Jordaan of the Energy Technology Innovation Policy Research Group, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Harvard University.

A new satellite study finds more than 75% of the water loss in the drought-stricken Colorado River Basin since late 2004 came from underground resources. The extent of groundwater loss may pose a greater threat to the water supply of the western United States than previously thought. This is a lot of water to lose. Credit: U.S.

Example of a lithium-water rechargeable battery. Researchers at the University of Texas, including Dr. John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. In theory, the decomposition potential of water is 4.27

HTL uses subcritical water as the chemical driving force to convert biomass to a carbon-rich biocrude. However, for high water content biomass, such as algae, the energy costs of dewatering may offset the energy demand of liquefaction processes. Using microalgal feedstocks, biocrude yields from HTL processing are 5?30% carbon, 10.1%
