Seawater desalination driven by renewable energies: a review Original Research Article

This paper deals with seawater desalination systems driven by renewable energies. A review of pilot plants and perspectives of development is presented. There are many reasons why the use of renewable energies in seawater desalination is suitable, especially for remote areas where conventional energy supply and skilled workers are not usually available. Nevertheless, desalination systems driven by renewable energies are scarce and they tend to have a limited capacity.
