They have multiple ‘desalination solutions’ to fit the needs of customers that are outlined on their website.
Why sustainable?
This is a sustainable initiative as they are taking a process that typically requires a lot of fossil fuels (reverse osmosis to remove the salt from seawater), and make it more sustainable by using renewable energy sources. In addition, by taking desalinizing seawater this company helps ensuring sufficient drinking water around the world, without overexploiting or degrading existing freshwater stocks.
Zero Hunger: water is the root of agriculture and the distribution of food. Hence, access to freshwater is a means for hunger relief.
Clean Water and Sanitation: Solar desalination is a solution to improve sanitation and clean water accessibility, especially in remote places with severe water stress.
Affordable and Clean Energy: These desalination systems are powered by renewable resources. Hence, they are clean, affordable, and independent.
