solar powered desalination plant
a solar powered desalination plant aimed at treating 60,000 cubic meters of seawater daily.
Seawater is becoming a critical resource as global freshwater supplies come under increasing stress, but conventional desalination is an expensive, energy-sucking process. Renewable energy offers a chance at lowering both costs and emissions.
The plant itself is already under construction and is scheduled to be up and running in early 2017.
