The energy-efficient desalination system produces fresh water without chemical additives and transforms leftover salts into useful materials. Big takeaways A new desalination method produces drinking water from seawater without chemical additives. The solar-powered system uses specially engineered black metal to absorb sunlight. Its self-cleaning surface separates and collects salts, instead of dumping them as harmful … [continued]

The US startup OceanWell is scaling up its plans to deploy modular pods under the sea for energy efficient seawater desalination.
Latest HERO WEC Mission Status Update Examines How a Polyurethane Belt Could Improve Reliability of Wave Energy Converters The National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) wave-powered desalination research is charting new waters by improving the robustness, reliability, and deployability of the hydraulic and electric reverse osmosis wave energy converter—or HERO WEC. To do this, … [continued]
The Norwegian wave energy startup Ocean Oasis has developed an emission free, wave-powered offshore desalination system to help relieve water scarcity among island and coastal communities.
The US startup OceanWell is developing undersea “water farms” that leverage water pressure to operate an energy efficient desalination system.
A new direct air capture system deploys salty wastewater to transform airborne carbon into solid carbonates and produce fresh water, too.
Two groups of researchers have devised new ways of desalinization that rely solely on the power of sunlight to make fresh water.
Clean drinking water is an issue across many countries on the African continent. As renewable energy becomes more available and cheaper, some of this is being used for desalination to quench the thirsty millions. Desalination is moving to the heart of water supply for those countries in Africa with access … [continued]
