California State Report Identifies Future Desalination Plants to Meet Statewide Water Reliability Goals – USA

As California continues to adapt to the impacts of a changing climate, the State must work to identify future sources of safe, reliable water for all. This week, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) released a report identifying future planned desalination projects to help meet the brackish water supply goals identified in California’s Water Supply Strategy: Adapting to a Hotter, Drier Future.

Fe-MOF derived Fe3O4/C-based hydrogel for efficient solar-driven photothermal evaporation – China

Solar-driven interfacial photothermal evaporation (SIPE) has been considered as a green and sustainable technology for obtaining fresh water, and the exploring efficient photothermal materials is crucial. Nanocomposite derived from metal-organic framework exhibits high light absorption properties and excellent chemical stability, making it an ideal candidate in the SIPE.

Neom cancels $1.5bn desalination plant project – KSA

A consortium of Neom subsidiary Enowa, Japan’s Itochu and France’s Veolia signed a JDA for the scheme in December 2022, approximately six months after they signed a memorandum of understanding to develop the renewable-energy powered advanced seawater reverse osmosis project in Oxagon, Neom’s industrial cluster.

The scope of the JDA covers the first phase of the project with a desalination plant that can produce 500,000 cubic metres a day (cm/d) of desalinated water by 2030.

First OSMOSUN desalination plant commissioned – Morocco

OSMOSUN installed an OSMOSUN 6 BW plant capable of producing up to 140 million cubic metres of freshwater per day. The water is drawn from underground reserves of brackish water. After treatment, it is used to irrigate 31 hectares of fig, pomegranate and carob tree plantations, as well as plants such as geraniums and rosemary. Maintenance of the installation will be carried out by the OSMOSUN Morocco teams.
