Letters To The Editor: Opinions From Poo-Poo’ers
We get a solid amount of…interesting…. email from clean tech doubters and outright haters. We recently launched a “Letters to the editor” section, and well, I decided to run a smattering of the commentary that CleanTechnica receives (slash have to deal with) on the daily, just for your entertainment. Enjoy. … [continued]
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]
US DOE Funds Projects Aimed At Cutting Costs Of Solar Thermal Desalination
Desalination plants require a tremendous amount of energy, making them extremely costly to run. And, if that energy comes from burning fossil fuels, it will only make climate change worse. The Department of Energy (DOE) is looking to tackle both problems by funding research aimed at dramatically reducing the cost of using solar power to get the salt out of seawater.
UAE, China Partner On Renewable Energy-Based Water Desalination Technology
A Middle-east country which is rapidly taking strides to change the way it generates energy, and one of the leading global renewable energy production companies have joined hands to promote water desalination using renewable energy. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and China recently signed an agreement to work together in … [continued]
Revolutionizing The Water Desalination Industry?
First of all, let me say that water desalination is not my expertise. But based on my limited knowledge of the industry and what I learned this week at Abu Dhabi Ascent, the news below is quite big. As stated at the press conference announcing the four winning companies chosen … [continued]
10 Water-Saving or Water-Cleaning Technologies.. & Your Chance to Do Something!
While most of the technologies we write on here on CleanTechnica – solar power, wind power, energy efficiency, and clean transportation technologies – are focused on addressing our climate and energy crises, another critical crisis facing the world today is the water crisis.
World Water Day: 60 Posts on Water & Cleantech
Today is world water day. We’ve written quite a number of posts on different ways water is connected to cleantech and clean energy. Rather than write a whole new post on one or two aspects of this, I’ve decided to do a compilation piece. The following are articles on CleanTechnica (and a few from our sister site Planetsave) on some of the connections between cleantech and water.
