Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - World energy perspective : the road to resilience, managing the risks of the energy-water-food nexus

Publicação: London : World Energy Council, cop. 2016Notas: Project partners Marsh & McLennan Companies and Swiss Re Corporate SolutionsSumario: The report on extreme weather highlighted the systemic impact of weather risks that can cause disruptions in energy supply for days or weeks. The energy-water-food nexus poses an equally systemic risk, yet the disruptions from the nexus can impact the stability of energy supply and demand for years or decades. To mitigate resource constraints, it will be necessary to further reduce the amount of water needed for energy production. Early analysis indicates that the overall water footprint of the energy sector could be lowered if more power or heat were produced by renewables such as wind, photovoltaics, or natural gas, as they show comparatively low water usageMateria / lugar / evento: Gerencia de riesgos Sector energético Aguas industriales Cambio climático Industria alimentaria Energías renovables Recursos energéticos Infraestructuras Otros autores: World Energy Council
