Scientists are looking for new ways to desalinate water using energy resources that reduce dependence on dwindling fossil fuels
Harnessing solar and geothermal energy for desalination.
The Middle East relies heavily on fossil fuels to drive modern desalination technologies that are used to grow food. Currently only 1 percent of desalinated water comes from renewable resources. Intermittent or low energy supplies are a problem for agricultural settings, where grid networks may not always stretch. Better ways to capture and store renewable energy resources could increase the sustainability of using desalinated water, making it cheaper and easier to use. âThis is a moment of innovation. You can see that in Saudi Arabia, in Oman, in the Emirates and [âŠ]
