Have you ever thought about where your water comes from? The question occurred to me when I moved to a southeastern condo community. In my former rural New England home, we had an artesian well. Now we are part of an urban water supply system, and I became curious about the … [continued]
The US startup OceanWell is scaling up its plans to deploy modular pods under the sea for energy efficient seawater desalination.
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.
Researchers Find Theoretical Design Could Be Most Affordable Way To Turn Salty Waters Into Clean Drinking Water
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]
NREL Researchers Work To Transform Seawater Into Drinking Water as We Commemorate World Water Day 2021
The numbers of desalination facilities across the globe are increasing, but so, too, are brine byproducts.
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]
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]
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.
