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.

The project, awarded to ACCIONA in 2020 – together with its partners Jardine Engineering Corporation Limited and China State Construction Engineering Limited – includes the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the first phase of the desalination plant.
The facility will have a capacity of 135,000 m3/day, equivalent to the water consumption of 850,000 people. The contract period is ten years, with a possible extension for another five years.

China is seeking closer integration with the energy-rich Middle East through its Belt and Road Initiative amid ongoing geopolitical tensions
According to a statement from the Media Office of the Prime Minister, this will enable the coalition to complete plans, designs, and initial surveys for the project, without imposing financial obligations on the province.
The results of the negotiation will then be presented to Cabinet for appropriate decision-making.
