Decarbonization and technology cost drivers: considerations for potential future thermoelectric water use in the power sector by Stuart Cohen, Raquel Valdez, Vincent Tidwell, Saroj Khanal, Thushara Gunda

“…Specifically, we evaluate four decarbonization scenarios for the contiguous United States that vary in assumptions concerning demand growth and technology costs, with technology costs driving alternative outcomes that prioritize either technologies that require low amounts of water (such as wind, solar, and battery) or high amounts of water (such as nuclear and carbon capture and storage). These scenarios are executed in a power sector capacity expansion model and compared to two reference scenarios that assume status quo with policy and cost drivers. …”
