The WssTP Task Force “Water and Energy” met on February 11^th in Brussels, Belgium. The workshop was led by the new appointed leader of the Task-Force, Steven Kaye of Anglian Water. There were 36 participants from 10 countries to explore the water and energy nexus. This workshop was an opportunity to take the first steps towards the development of a roadmap of R&D opportunities to submit to the European Commission by July 2010. After the presentation of the key interactions between water and energy, five areas of focus were defined in order to organize a fruitful brainstorming session.

1. Energy efficient water treatment and supply 

2. Energy neutral/positiv wate water treatment

3. Water & Energy tools and systems

4. Water & Energy efficiency in homes 

5. Water & Energy for industry

 

Each group agreed to produce a brief summary of its R&D priorities on a medium (2015) and long term (2030) approach before Spring 2010.
