Sustainable Hydropower Use and Integration in China and EU

Sustainable Hydropower Use and Integration in China and EU

Hydropower sits at the heart of the water and energy nexus. It has played and will continue to play a critical role in enhancing both water and energy securities. Yet sustainable hydropower development remains a major common challenge for both the EU and China. Centred with hydropower development and operation, the motivation of the proposed action – Sustainable Hydropower Use and Integration in China and Europe (SHUI-ChE), is to explore the following major opportunity spaces to further develop and enhance China Europe collaboration on water policy, including i) green standards on hydropower – from regulation to practice; ii) operational schemes for optimizing the efficiency of small hydropower; iii) Pumped Storage Hydropower and comprehensive cost and benefit assessment; and iv) hydropower as an enabler for promoting regional energy integration and transition to the renewable energy system.
