| Sumario: | This paper focuses on the PRIMA SURENEXUS project, which addresses the interconnection of the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem (WEFE) Nexus and the integration of energy recovery technologies. A comprehensive analysis of data from scientific articles, accessed through platforms such as Web of Science, MDPI, and other official sources, was conducted to explore these interconnections. This study aligns with recent scientific efforts to tackle critical global challenges, including water scarcity, food and energy insecurity, and ecosystem degradation, which are particularly pronounced in the Mediterranean region. The research emphasizes the use of NECADA, a simulation software developed by UPC-INLAB that incorporates an AI-driven WEFE Nexus model. NECADA integrates databases of compensations, designed to optimize trade-offs by balancing competing priorities across the 4 pillars of WEFE Nexus. By leveraging input and output parameters, the module identifies strategies that enhance synergies, mitigate trade-offs, and ensure sustainable resource management. This paper highlights how NECADA database’s compensation mechanisms and energy recovery technologies contribute to addressing the Mediterranean region's sustainability challenges, enabling decision-makers to implement solutions that optimize efficiency and preserve ecological integrity. |
