Abstract

The energy sector is a major source of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Therefore, the sector’s de-carbonization is imperative if we intend to curb the progression of Climate Change.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) was created in an attempt to reduce the carbon footprint of energy production. Nonetheless, literature shows that water consumption of electricity production nearly doubles when CCS technologies are applied. Those large footprints give an idea of the technology’s impact in the Water-Energy nexus.
In this paper we quantify the Water-Energy-Nexus relations for CCS in the EU-28 using a Top-Down system’s approach. We: 1) elaborate the country’s inventory of water availability and consumption, 2) define the system and two indicators to be used, 3) assess specialized literature for quantify those indicators.
Results suggest that water availability is not an issue for CCS, but the additional volume in the consumption could create an important impact on the countries’ infrastructure.
