Water Energy Nexus

Energy Management for Reverse Osmosis Desalination Desalination is responsible for 200 million tons of CO2 emissions a year, significantly contributing to global warming.  Of course, global warming also contributes to drought highlighting the water-energy nexus. Energy management is the most important aspect of reducing CO2 emissions associated with desalination.  Although Reverse Osmosis (RO) consumes 4 times less energy than thermal desalination …
