The Future of Seawater Desalination: Energy, Technology, and the Environment
TL;DR: The possible reductions in energy demand by state-of-the-art seawater Desalination technologies, the potential role of advanced materials and innovative technologies in improving performance, and the sustainability of desalination as a technological solution to global water shortages are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Technical review and evaluation of the economics of water desalination: Current and future challenges for better water supply sustainability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a cost analysis of the reverse osmosis process and the main parameters influencing the total water cost produced by different desalination technologies, including capital and operating costs, as well as local incentives or subsidies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy Consumption and Water Production Cost of Conventional and Renewable-Energy-Powered Desalination Processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the technical features, energy consumption, environmental considerations, and potential of renewable energy use in driving the main desalination processes are reviewed and analyzed in order to compare the current and projected costs of water produced from conventional and renewable energy-driven processes.
