The Solar Desalination Forum will look at the technological partnerships and accomplishments to date of solar desalination in the UAE and other GCC countries and cover how pilot projects can grow into multiple projects
Masdar recently announced that it has launched a desalination pilot program that includes three test sites in the UAE and will operate for 3.5 years. The company plans to implement renewable energy powered desalination plants in the United Arab Emirates and to have a facility at commercial scale by 2020. Saudi Arabia started its first solar-powered sea water desalination plant this year in Al-Khafji, near the Saudi border with Kuwait which will be the world’s largest of its kind. The plant will produce 30,000 cubic meters of water for 100,000 people living in Al-Khafji, according to KACST. The Solar Desalination Forum will look at the technological partnerships and accomplishments to date of solar desalination in the UAE and other GCC countries and cover how pilot projects can grow into multiple projects.
