As the impact of water scarcity in United States (U.S.) continues to grow through 21st century, it is critical develop strategies reduce use and improve security resources. One such strategy diversify sources from which supplied. Industrial withdrawals represent fourth largest category U.S. use, majority sourced fresh surface groundwater. In this study, we critically explore potential industrial wastewater serve as an alternative resource direct treatment reuse. We begin by reviewing state...
Although CO2 impacts the environment negatively, it can be a valuable resource due to its carbon content. The U.S. industry emits over 825 Mt of annually, with an expected increase in future. This article analyzes 27 different technology combinations for capturing and using industrial feedstocks, including production synthetic methane, methanol, Fischer-Tropsch fuels. study also estimates compares energy requirements converting from 16 sources, as well hydrogen through state-of-the-art...
The global demand for water and energy is projected to grow, but there likely will be significant constraints in our ability keep meeting it. These imposed partly by the interdependence between water, energy, climate change. If left unchecked, these connections can exacerbate shortages aggravate change impacts: Energy used supply treat water; moreover, emissions from generation contribute change, which affects supplies increases sustain Earth's growing population economy. linkage offer...
It is critical that industrial sector emissions are reduced significantly to minimize the worst effects of human-induced climate change. The first, and most cost-effective, step in reducing these energy efficiency. Current approaches efficiency typically rely on project-by-project implementation without an established system maintain reductions. Conversely, management based Plan-Do-Check-Act structure, such as ISO 50001, provides a systematic structured approach identifying, implementing,...
The potential impact of water shortages on U.S. manufacturing is unknown. While for constitutes an estimated 6% intake, the data (i.e., location, quantity, and purpose intake) needed to determine this does not exist. This paper will identify subsectors at risk physical by applying a method estimating intake necessary spatial sectoral resolutions. First, requirements quantify facility's footprint within context watershed are developed. Second, using international data, national, state,...
Abstract Electricity generation in the United States entails significant water usage and greenhouse gas emissions. However, accurately estimating these impacts is complex due to intricate nature of electric grid dynamic electricity mix. Existing methods estimate environmental consequences use often generalize across large regions, neglecting spatial temporal variations Consequently, dynamics, such as fluctuations renewable energy resources, are overlooked efforts mitigate impacts. The U.S....
Water is a critical resource for all of manufacturing. As such, mitigating risks to the supply water manufacturing plants facilitates maintaining vital sector. Reductions in use through efficiency one method risk, however little known about its potential United States (U.S.) Herein, we address this gap and calculate reduction U.S. from commercially available opportunities specific A list measures sector compiled applied estimates withdrawals. The energy carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e)...
Abstract This paper seeks to inform an improved understanding of the energy tradeoff associated with on‐site manufacturing water reuse in United States from a lifecycle perspective, part by developing analytical framework for when this is beneficial. We survey literature assess current state and its motives barriers States, before synthesizing information publicly available EPA data on contaminants US wastewaters technologies treating them. Using data, we derive set “ubiquitous contaminants”...
Water is essential to manufacturing operations; without it, many facilities could not operate or meet production demands. Physical, reputational, and regulatory risks water supplies compounded by climate change-induced impacts on hydrological conditions threaten the adequacy of for manufacturing. Manufacturing use has been a major focus either manufacturing-related research. Research development (R&D) aimed at helping manufacturers more sustainably adapt changing needed ensure thriving...
Abstract It has become clear in recent decades that manufacturing supply chains are increasingly vulnerable to disruptions of varying geographical scales and intensities. These disruptions—whether intentional, accidental, or resulting from natural disasters—cause failures capacity reductions infrastructure, with lasting effects can cascade throughout the network. An overall lack understanding solutions mitigate disturbances rendered challenge reducing chain vulnerability even more difficult....
