Octopus Project Combines Direct Air Capture With Water Recovery
A new direct air capture system deploys salty wastewater to transform airborne carbon into solid carbonates and produce fresh water, too.
Fresh Water Is In Critically Short Supply — Desalinization Could Help
Two groups of researchers have devised new ways of desalinization that rely solely on the power of sunlight to make fresh water.
Solar Energy Desalination Plants Increasingly Provide Water for Africa
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]
New Water Treatment Technology Could Help Recycle Even Super Salty Waters
Researchers Find Theoretical Design Could Be Most Affordable Way To Turn Salty Waters Into Clean Drinking Water
DOE Awards $9 Million To 12 Projects To Advance Desalination & Water Reuse Technologies Across…
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Alliance for Water Innovation (NAWI) announced the selection of 12 projects that will improve the energy efficiency of desalination and water reuse technologies across the country. The selected projects will drive decarbonization of the water and wastewater sectors through innovative technologies … [continued]
Sand to Green in Africa
Like a scene from Dune, the French–Moroccan startup Sand to Green aims to turn the desert from threat to food producer. It’s a lesson Australia also needs to learn. “If we were to try to produce all the food we will need in 2050 using current production systems, the world … [continued]
Instant Drinking Water: Just Add Wave Energy & Solar Panels
A new, easy-to-install desalination system runs on wave energy with an assist from on-board solar panels
Solar Light Is A Desalinator & Salt Battery All In One (With Video)
The Solar Desalinization Skylight brings light and clean drinking water to those who need it most.
Insurmountable Green Hydrogen Barriers In Australia Or Just Minor Obstacles?
Australia is known to be a dry continent overall (except when the floods come, as is the case at the moment in Queensland). So, a study decrying the huge amount of clean water that is needed to produce green hydrogen is going to get a few readers. I see it … [continued]
