Abstract

AbstractThis study aims to present a roadmap on which optimal solutions can be adopted for a sustainable water and energy management by focusing on the relationships among “Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”, “Water‐Energy”, “Innovation‐Technology” and “Capacity‐Generation” blocks. The findings reveal that technological innovations are the core of sustainable solutions. An optimal bundle for policy tools should take SDG3, SDG10, SDG11, SDG12, SDG16, CH4‐N2O emissions, access to clean fuels, wastewater treatment and COVID‐19 major drivers into account primarily to explain the water‐energy nexus. Among the five worst‐performing technologies are hydrogen, CCUS, fuel cells, energy efficiency and electromobility‐electric energy management. Considering the constructed four scenarios together; levelized cost of electricity, global horizontal irradiation and photovoltaic (PV) power output seasonality are the only significant PV potential indicators despite their low impacts.
