Integrated Water-Energy Management for Mining
This white paper focuses on the intersection of energy-water with the mining sector.
The challenges include that mining is a water and energy intensive industry, mining can impact surface water and groundwater, limited water quality sampling occurs at mine sites, and there are o...
Greco, T., King, J., Struck, S., Bell, B., Wiltse, N., Hoffman, J., Taguta, J., Cai, M., GreenNRRI, M., Post, S., and Paliewicz, C.
Framework for Enabling Energy Reliability for Wastewater Utilities
This white paper addresses Energy for Water, focusing on enabling energy reliability at wastewater (WW) utilities with an emphasis on grid-interactive operations. Although multiple options exist for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), implementing energy reliable strategies lack ...
