“The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.” - Paul Fix

TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary, 18 - 24 November 2017 - Special Black Friday Edition!

It's Black Friday here in the USA. I should be shopping. Next year, for sure.  

Here is this week's water book: Water Security Across the Gender Divide edited by by Christiane Frohlich, Giovanna Gioli,‎ Roger Cremades, and Henri Myrttinen. 

From the site: 

This is the first book-length text to offer a gender-differentiated analysis of water security that also shows the complex and multidimensional factors underpinning water security and gender, including geophysical, environmental, economic and a variety of socio-political processes 

Explores the gender-water nexus through a range of different lenses, including institutional, theoretical, practical and regional perspectives    

Uses new and original data and goes far beyond political ecology to explore the fields of power, conflicts and security from a gender perspective.

Two of the three authors of one of the chapters are friends and colleagues Lynette de Silva and Jennifer Veilleux: The Role of Women in Transboundary Water Dispute Resolution.

Report: 'U.S. Government Global Water Strategy' Happy Black Friday Eve!

Today in the USA we celebrate Black Friday Eve, the holiday formerly known as Thanksgiving Day. BFE serves as the opening of the weekend before Cyber Monday, which then spawns #GivingTuesday, on which we try to remember to what and how much we should give. I will be glad to help you out with your giving. Happy Thanksgiving!

On a more serious note I am glad to see that the USA does have a 2017 Global Water Strategy. This one must have slipped through during one of President Trump's Tweet tirades about LaVar Ball or the NFL. 

Download US_Water_Strategy_2017

Executive Summary

There is a growing global water crisis that may increase disease, undermine economic growth, foster insecurity and state failure, and generally reduce the capacity of countries to advance priorities that support U.S. national interests. To address these challenges and contribute to a healthier, safer, and more prosperous world, the United States will work to support a water secure world where people have sustainable supplies of water of sufficient quantity and quality to meet human, economic, and ecosystem needs while managing risks from floods and droughts.

This work will be guided by four interconnected strategic objectives:

●  Increasing sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation services, and the adoption of key hygiene behaviors;

●  Encouraging the sound management and protection of freshwater resources;

●  Promoting cooperation on shared waters; and,

●  Strengthening water-sector governance, financing, and institutions.

To achieve these objectives, the United States will provide technical assistance; make targeted investments in sustainable infrastructure and services; promote science, technology, and information; mobilize financial resources; engage diplomatically; and, strengthen partnerships and intergovernmental organizations. This will be achieved through direct assistance to countries, scientific and technical engagement, and support to international organizations, institutions, and partnerships. Foreign assistance can only provide a small portion of the funds needed to meet water and sanitation needs globally and must be used strategically to mobilize financial resources from host country governments, the private sector, and capital markets, where appropriate. The United States will focus its efforts on countries and regions where needs and opportunities are greatest and where U.S. engagement can best protect our national security interests. This includes high priority countries designated under the Senator Paul Simon Water for the World Act of 2014 for October 1, 2017 – September 30, 2018. Overviews of country- specific plans for implementing this Strategy in high priority countries and geographic areas are appended to this Strategy.

More than 17 U.S. government agencies and departments contributed to the development of this Strategy. Many contributed specific plans describing how they will work to implement this Strategy. Public and private stakeholders also contributed through public fora.

Implementation of the Global Water Strategy (the Strategy) will be coordinated in Washington, D.C. through the Interagency Water Working Group, and in the host countries through U.S. Missions. Together, we are working to create a more water secure world.

 

Could have used some more money. NOt much on climate change - adaptation and mitigation - vis-a-vis water.

Enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving to my USA friends!

CRS Report: 'Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) in the United States'

I have been hearing a lot about CCS lately. It seems to be awakening after a brief slumber of a few years. Leave it to the CRS to produce this 14 November 2017  report, Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) in the United States, by Peter Folger. 

Download CRS_CCS_14Nov2017

Summary

Carbon capture and sequestration (or storage)—known as CCS—is a process that involves capturing man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) at its source and storing it permanently underground. (CCS is sometimes referred to as CCUS—carbon capture, utilization, and storage.) CCS could reduce the amount of CO2—an important greenhouse gas—emitted to the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants and other large industrial facilities.

Globally, two fossil-fueled power plants currently generate electricity and capture CO2 in large quantities: the Boundary Dam plant in Canada and the Petra Nova plant in Texas. Both plants retrofitted post-combustion capture technology to units of existing plants. A third fossil-fueled electricity-generating operation, the Kemper County Energy Facility in Mississippi, was scheduled to begin CCS operations by now, but cost overruns and delays in construction and operations led to the suspension of the plant’s CCS component on June 28, 2017.

Each of the power plants using CCS systems may be referred to as a demonstration project, or a nearly first-of-its-kind venture using technologies developed at a pilot scale ramped up to commercial scale. Such projects move through many phases, from the initial research and development (R&D) phase through the final commercial deployment phase. It is not unusual for projects in the demonstration phase of this process to experience higher-than-anticipated costs, delays, and other challenges. Several other U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)-supported demonstration projects, such as FutureGen, the AEP Mountaineer project, and the Hydrogen Energy California Project, among others, faced challenges that led to their cancellation or suspension. Given the mixed success of large CCS projects in the United States, the economic viability of, and the commercial interest in, such projects remains uncertain.

The U.S. Department of Energy has long supported R&D on CCS within its Fossil Energy Research and Development (FER&D) portfolio. The Trump Administration proposed to cut FER&D funding substantially in its FY2018 budget request. The Trump Administration’s proposal differs from the policy trends of the previous two Administrations, which supported R&D on CCS and emphasized the development of large-scale demonstration projects to evaluate how CCS might be deployed commercially. Some in Congress have signaled continued support for DOE’s R&D efforts with respect to CCS. The House Energy and Water Development appropriations draft legislation would support CCS R&D at a level comparable to that in FY2017, for example ($635 million versus $668 million enacted for FY2017). The Senate version of the bill would fund FER&D at $573 million in FY2018, $95 million less than in FY2017 but $293 million more than the Administration request. In addition, some Members of Congress have continued to introduce legislation in the 115th Congress intended to advance CCS. These bills include H.R. 2010, H.R. 2011, H.R. 2296, S. 843, S. 1068, S. 1535, and S. 1663. Two of these bills, S. 1663 and S. 1068, were offered as amendments to tax reform legislation (the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) under consideration in the Senate Finance Committee.

The Obama Administration commissioned a CCS task force, which concluded in 2010 that the largest barrier to long-term demonstration and deployment of CCS technology is the absence of a federal policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The task force further concluded that widespread deployment of CCS would occur only if the technology is commercially available at economically competitive prices. None of those factors appear to be in place currently, which may indicate that demonstration and deployment of industrial-scale CCS will be delayed compared to earlier projections, pending future policy, technological, and economic developments.

 

Enjoy!
