Water‑Energy Nexus 101: The Push, Pull, and Interconnectedness of Water and Energy
Description
Water and energy systems are deeply interconnected. Moving, heating, cooling, and treating water requires energy, while energy generation itself often depends heavily on water resources. This relationship—known as the water–energy nexus—is becoming increasingly important for professionals designing, building, and maintaining infrastructure in the built environment. Listen as Bill Malarkey, Partner at Roland Berger, Steve Kloos, Ph.D., Partner at Burnt Island Ventures, Antoine Walter, Sr. Business Development Manager at GF, and Charles Freda, Global Head of Data Centers at GF, discuss the core concepts behind the water–energy nexus and explore why it matters in the flow industry. This panel of experts will explore how emerging pressures, such as growing data center demand, electrification, and population growth, are intensifying the connection between local water resources and energy consumption. Attendees will gain insight into where innovation and investment are occurring and how GF contributes practical solutions that support water and energy efficiency in real-world applications.
