UK researchers have proposed the use of photovoltaic-thermal energy for desalination purposes, via an approach based on synergistic electro-thermal coupling mechanisms. They have found that some ...

Sustainable Development Goal 6 from the United Nations aims to provide global access to safe and affordable drinking water. Solar-powered desalination can help achieve this, by using sunlight to ...

Researchers developed a desalination system that is more efficient and less expensive than previous methods. In addition to providing fresh water, the process could be used to treat contaminated ...

Solar still desalination primarily depends on evaporation and condensation to purify saline water for potable water generation. In this water treatment process, the incident solar irradiation ...

Water scarcity is driving investment in unconventional water resources. MENA and Asia-Pacific regions dominate the current desalination market. Renewable mega-projects seek to improve the cost and ...

The project reduces saltwater injection volumes while testing ways to reuse treated produced water for other needs.

An estimated two-thirds of humanity is affected by shortages of water, and many such areas in the developing world also face a lack of dependable electricity. Widespread research efforts have thus ...
