  7. How The Middle East Is Transforming Its Power And Water Industry 5/17/2018

    Global demand for power and water is accelerating — and the Middle East is no exception. A burgeoning population combined with multiple industrial diversification programs is fueling a boom in power and water projects. During the first three quarters of 2017, about US$30 billion of major power contracts and US$20 billion of water projects were awarded across the region. In 2018, the figure is looking more like $60 billion with the two sectors combined.

  8. Why Strategic Choices — And Water — Could Make People More Energy-Efficient 1/9/2017

    At my household, a new year means a new energy and water-use baseline. By that I mean, every month, I look at how much electricity and water I used in comparison to the same month the previous year — so I can try to be as efficient as possible. But I work in the energy field, and I know that’s not a typical New Year’s tradition. Most people don’t examine the trends of their energy-use or spend much time thinking about how to reduce it.

  9. Will Water Scarcity Be The Death Of Fossil Fuels? 2/20/2024

    Water stress, whether caused by drought, access limitation, or contamination, has been increasingly detrimental for an ever-growing range of industries.
