China's new solar desalination tech promises cheaper fresh water
The price of fresh water in the world’s most arid regions might soon fall below the cost of a standard bottle of water. A joint team of Chinese scientists from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shenzhen University has unveiled a solar-powered desalination prototype that operates with zero utility energy costs. The key development is a new 3D photothermal structure, purpose-built to supercharge sola…
China's New Solar Desalination Technology Turns Sea-water Into Fresh Water Without Electricity. Here's How It Works
Access to clean drinking water remains one of the world’s biggest challenges, especially in regions facing drought, limited freshwater supplies, and unreliable electricity. Now, researchers in China say they have developed a solar-powered desalination technology that could dramatically reduce the cost of producing fresh water from seawater, without relying on electricity. The experimental system uses a specially engineered material that captures…
Chinese researchers have developed a solar-powered prototype that converts seawater into fresh water at zero grid energy cost. The system, which demonstrated complete stability during a year of outdoor testing, produces water at a cost even lower than bottled water.
