New Model Could Help Break Through Inefficiencies Of Common Water Treatment Systems
In April 2022, a team of engineers hiked into California’s Sierra Nevada mountains to hunt for snow. Instead, they found mostly bare, dry dirt and only a few of the snow patches that provide one-third of California’s water supply. In the coming decades, water scarcity and insecurity are likely to … [continued]
Waves to Water Prize: NREL Team To De-Risk Desal Device Deployment
NREL Researchers Work To Transform Seawater Into Drinking Water as We Commemorate World Water Day 2021
Humans Worth Their Salt? The Price Of Desalination = Brine Disposal
The numbers of desalination facilities across the globe are increasing, but so, too, are brine byproducts.
Masdar Desalination Pilots Move Into Optimization Phase
In early 2014, Zach covered an exciting desalination project that Masdar kicked off which specifically focused on improving the energy efficiency of the desalination process while also supporting it with renewable energy. Pulling the background from our previous article forward, CEO of Masdar Dr. Ahmad Belhoul shared some specifics: “Today, the Gulf region accounts for over 50% … [continued]
Solar Powered Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier Provides Water & Income
Originally published on Solar Love. In some places, solar is a great green option, but not really a necessity, but in other places, solar power can make a huge difference, and not always just by charging mobile phones and providing clean lighting (which is a huge need in the developing … [continued]
Methane To The Rescue! New Energy Efficient Graphene Desalination Membrane For The 99%
Oak Ridge National Laboratory is hot on the trail of a new energy efficient graphene desalination membrane — but there’s a big, fat, methane catch.
High Cost of Diesel Spurs Caribbean Island’s Renewable Energy-Climate Change Plan
Residents’ ire over a spike in electricity costs due to the island’s dependence on diesel fuel has spurred the eastern Caribbean island’s renewable energy-climate change plan, an approach that’s increasingly being seen across the Caribbean, as well as one that should resonate here in the US at a time where rising gasoline and petroleum prices have become fodder for Republican attacks.
How to Achieve Our Ideal Energy Future, According to Energy Experts
We know by now that people support clean energy, want governments to promote it more, and think it’s a good idea to make polluting companies pay for the environmental problems they cause. We’ve covered that topic numerous times here on Cleantechnica. But when was the last time you saw a … [continued]
