Agua dulce para refrigeración: las necesidades hídricas de las centrales nucleares en España
Sesma Martín, Diego
(2019)
Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena 
Objetivo: hacer una primera estimación de las necesidades hídricas de las centrales nucleares españolas desde 1969 hasta 2014. El objetivo es, por tanto, calcular el uso consuntivo del agua (la cantidad de agua evaporada, ... -
Agua dulce para refrigeración: una visión a largo plazo de la huella hídrica de las centrales nucleares en España
Sesma Martín, Diego ; Rubio Varas, María del Mar (2016)
Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena
Objectives: our research pioneers a first approximation to the water footprint of the Spanish nuclear power plants operating with freshwater from 1969 to the present. Our aim is to calculate the consumptive use of water ... -

Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena
Este estudio evalúa las necesidades de agua para la generación de energía termoeléctrica en la Cuenca del Ebro. Mediante el cálculo de las demandas y consumos de agua para generación termoeléctrica en la región, este estudio ... -
At the crossroad between green and thirsty: carbon emissions and water consumption of Spanish thermoelectricity generation, 1969–2019
Cano-Rodríguez, Sara; Rubio Varas, María del Mar ; Sesma Martín, Diego (Elsevier, 2022)
Artículo / Artikulua
The energy sector is the main contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and one of the thirstiest sectors worldwide. Within the energy sector, thermoelectricity directly impacts on both emissions and water. This study assesses ... -
Cooling water: a source of conflict in Spain, 1970-1980
Sesma Martín, Diego (MDPI, 2020)
Artículo / Artikulua
Water resources are limited and uneven in space and time. Competition for the use of the resource can lead to conflicts between water users. Besides its use for irrigation and agriculture, water is an essential input in ... -
Freshwater for cooling needs: a long-run approach to the nuclear water footprint in Spain
Sesma Martín, Diego ; Rubio Varas, María del Mar (Elsevier, 2017)
Artículo / Artikulua
From the invention of the steam engine to the present, water has represented a significant input to the energy system, although this has been mostly ignored in the literature. In Spain, the most arid country in Europe, ... -
