Efficacy peaks when local renewable shares reach 65%–70%, highlighting crucial spatiotemporal windows. Our study positions agricultural irrigation as a nature-integrated form of virtual energy storage, offering a pathway to enhance grid resilience and support low-carbon climate adaptation. Agricultural irrigation inevitably costs energy.
The grain–water–energy–carbon nexus of irrigation system, circled in grey, is developed through a process-based, bottom–up approach as detailed in Methods. Irrigation-related carbon emissions are closely tied to the composition of power generation—cleaner power grids lead to greener irrigation.
The growing interdependence between water and power systems, especially in the context of climate variability, has made irrigation a key sector for managing grid stress 40. For example, India's 2012 blackout affecting 670 million people was linked to artificial irrigation surges during delayed monsoon rains, which overloaded the transmission grid.
By harnessing irrigation as a virtual energy storage reservoir, our framework shows agriculture's distinctive and scalable demand-side contribution to integrating intermittent renewables and advancing resilient, low-carbon grid management in global energy transitions.
