With the assistance of ACCIONA, LIFE DREAMER project is working on a promising project seeking to improve sustainable desalination by reducing the use of chemicals and repurposing the concentrated salt streams it generates.
Two species of water insects are behind the development of more efficient desalination membranes.
Scientists at the Complutense University (Spain) draw their inspiration from polar bear's fur to develop a nanostructured membrane capable of desalinating water.
The use of liquid batteries with redox technology could enable water desalination and renewable energy storage with a single technology.
This solar desalination system will also enable wastewater treatment or the sterilizing of medical instruments in isolated regions.
Solar-powered, the new portable desalination technology uses electricity instead of filters to remove salt and solid particles.
The “air-to-water” dispenser, presented at the latest CES show, produces drinking water at home without needing to connect to water mains.
Made from recycled plastic, the new floating desalination plant harnesses the sea's energy to produce fresh water.
A pioneering technology increases the efficiency of solar stills by 50 % thanks to fruit waste such as banana peels and a state-of-the-art material.
Condensation and desiccation systems, ranging from desiccant salts to nanofabrics, enable the production of potable water in areas without access to distribution networks.
LIFE INDESAL aims to address global water and energy challenges in an era defined by climate change and dwindling resources.
Inspired by desert-dwelling organisms, this breakthrough enables water extraction from the atmosphere in arid climates without requiring external energy.
