Climate Change and the Energy-Water Nexus: Applications at the U.S. DOE
Charles Scaife, PhD | U.S. DOE
08.19.24 @ 1 p.m. ET
HYBRID – 33/H114 or Teams
The United States set a goal of 100% clean electricity by 2035, but the changing climate will challenge the country’s ability to achieve this goal. Reliable water supply is critical to many energy-producing technologies, most notably hydropower, and as the water cycle shifts with climate change so does the ability to produce clean, reliable energy. Overcoming this challenge requires meeting water and energy utilities where they are with actionable data. Through a number of key investments, the Water Power Technologies Office at the U.S. Department of Energy is developing analyses, data sets, and tools for enhancing the nation’s water and energy resilience and reliability.
Dr. Charles Scaife is a hydrologist and technology manager in the Water Power Technologies Office at the U.S. Department of Energy. Dr. Scaife is an expert in climate science, watershed hydrology, and hydropower.
