There are two kinds of water use in the dairy sector, direct and indirect. Electricity generation (e.g., cooling water, evaporation, etc.) is an indirect use of water and a significant contributor to the overall water budget depending on how electricity is generated. In Canada, the dairy industry is distributed across 10 provinces each with a wide range of electricity generation sources in their grid mix, making it an interesting case study. For a dairy farm that uses 1021 kWh cow^-1 y^-1 (9.4 – 10.6 kWh per 100 kg milk, depending on the province), the average water use related to generating electricity was estimated to be 3.48 L kg^-1 milk (range: 1.40 – 5.77 L kg^-1, depending on the electricity grid). Energy conservation technologies could reduce electricity use by as much as 30 % and thus reduce water use by 1.04 L kg^-1 milk on average (range: 0.42 – 1.73 L kg^-1). Installing an on-farm solar array (0.40 kWp cow^-1; i.e. one 400-watt solar panel per cow) could lower grid-electricity-related water use by 35 – 51 % (or by 0.57 – 2.71 L kg^-1). Solar array sized with the capacity to reach net-zero electricity is feasible and can eliminate grid-electricity-related water use. This study highlights that dairy farms can achieve substantial water savings by strategically using electricity conservation and renewables, with the magnitude depending on the electricity grid mix, a relationship that has yet to be analyzed in current literature.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":93548,"journal":{"name":"Energy nexus","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100404"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143725382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed architecture features a distinctive arrangement: Al/FTO/IGZO/Sr₃PBr₃/Sr₃NCl₃/Cu₂O/Au. The study provides an in-depth theoretical examination of the energy band structure, defect properties, and quantum efficiency of the DPSC, focusing on the optimized photovoltaic (PV) specifications. Remarkably, the optimized DPSC achieves a power conversion efficiency (PCE), an open-circuit voltage (<em>V_OC</em>), a short-circuit current density (<em>J_SC</em>), and a fill factor (FF) of 32.46 %, 1.40 V, 26.51 mA/cm², 87.26 %.

Renewable energy from agricultural residues has emerged as a promising solution to address energy shortages and climate change. However, while 18 African countries, including Mauritius, utilize agricultural residues such as sugarcane bagasse for electricity generation, West African nations remain underdeveloped in this area. This study explores the potential of using alternative crop residues to alleviate energy stress and poverty in the region. Given the complexities of factors such as availability, moisture content, and energy content in crop selection, multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) was employed to identify the most suitable crop residues for bioenergy production in West Africa. Expert consultations were conducted to define assessment criteria and evaluate various residues, including straws, peels, husks and shells, fibers, and stalks. The findings indicate that straw residues, particularly from cereals, are the most suitable for energy production, followed by husks and shells, stalks, fibers, and peels. The study estimates that West Africa could annually harvest approximately 402 million metric tons (Mt) of biomass, with an energy content of 6,960 Petajoules (PJ). Key crops such as cassava, maize, rice, and sorghum contribute significantly to this biomass potential, with cassava accounting for 35% of the total energy. Nigeria and Ghana emerge as the leading countries in terms of energy potential. The techno-economic assessment for 2021 estimates that 614 PJ, equivalent to 170 Terawatt hours (TWh), could be realized.

To assess the impacts of electricity supply in Dar Es-Salam village, a rural West African community, the economics of a PV system with battery storage and electrical water pumping are scrutinized. These systems will facilitate electricity and water access and provide the village with uninterrupted supply. Within the rural context, electricity can be used for direct residential consumption and to operate an electric water pumping system to supply clean drinking water to the households, making it an integrated, linearly linked PV/battery and water pumping system. As access to financial resources illustrates another constraint, especially in the context of West Africa and the Sahel region, the paper further assesses impacts of an investment costs subsidy on the economics of electricity and water. By examining different allocation schemes of a constrained investment costs subsidy, the paper estimates their impact on the Levelized Costs of Electricity and Water, compares these results with the current state costs reported by local villagers, and identifies a superior subsidy allocation scheme.

This is due to the high upfront PV/battery costs in relation to the water system but also reflects the villagers’ preferences as to electricity and water costs.
