Water x Energy Nexus - R3 Sustainability - Empowering a Sustainable Future through water reuse innovation

The Water x Energy Nexus

The Water x Energy Nexus (“WEN”) refers to the interdependence between water and energy systems. It recognizes that water and energy resources are closely interconnected, each requiring the other for its availability and sustainability.

Did you know California uses 19% of their energy for water related uses? ^➚

The U.S. as a whole uses 10% of the entire energy grid just to move public water. ^➚

Do you constantly wonder why we don’t just build more desalination plants?

It’s because they require an enormous amount of energy!

Aren’t solar powered, “Carbon Neutral” data-centers a life saver?

Not really…they require a daily amount of fresh water that can serve an entire town of ~50,000 people. ^➚

WEN is NOW!

We use Energy for Water, and we use Water for Energy…the Water x Energy Nexus (WEN) is here.

We are at the tip of the iceberg of understanding all the complex Water x Energy intricacies, but it is becoming imperative that our global community begin to focus on the impact water and energy have on each other and on our planet.

The team behind R3 has a deep understanding of the Water x Energy intricacies and have made it our mission to provide affordable, innovative, and energy efficient options specifically for (i) Water Conveyance and (ii) Water Treatment, Reuse, and Recycling…we care about the journey to clean water.

Water conveyance refers to the transportation of water from its source to the place of its use, such as households, agricultural fields, or industrial facilities. The energy used for water conveyance varies depending on the distance, elevation, and volume of water being transported (with the majority of energy being used for pumping).

Water treatment refers to the process of removing impurities and contaminants from water to make it safe for consumption or suitable for various uses. The energy required for water treatment can vary widely, depending on factors such as water quality, treatment method, and treatment plant efficiency.
