Assessing the undesired impacts on water sustainability from climate change mitigation technologies in fossil-based power generation

In the absence of water quality and water scarcity data, WICa provides meaningful results between carbon mitigation technologies. It is useful as a technology decision making tool, validated here by 6 technologies in fossil-based power generation. This work investigates the water impact of carbon capture technologies employed in coal and natural gas power generation, viz. the integrated gasification combined cycle, oxy-fuel combustion, solid …
