Assessing the potential for renewable energy powered desalination for the global irrigation sector
(Elsevier, 2019-07-29)
By 2050, it is estimated that the annual cereal production would need to increase by about 140% and total global food production increase by 70%. Meanwhile, total water withdrawals for irrigation are projected to increase ...
The role of renewable energy based seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) in meeting the global water challenges in the decades to come
(Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT, 2020-11-25)
Renewable energy (RE) powered desalination is rapidly gaining interest as a means to augment the increasingly stressed global water supply. This thesis introduces and describes the ways in which 100% RE-based seawater ...

(Elsevier, 2022-02-08)
This is a discussion and response to “Global 100% energy transition by 2050: A fiction in developing economies?” authored by Anthony Afful-Dadzie and published in Joule 5 (2021) 1634–1643. The preview has raised concerns ...
Global scenarios for significant water use reduction in thermal power plants based on cooling water demand estimation using satellite imagery
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-11-25)
Connecting research on the water demand of power plants with mitigation strategies for energy-based water use is an important step to ensure global water and energy security, and thus provide more sustainable use of both. ...
Material extraction potential of desalination brines: A technical and economic evaluation of brines as a possible new material source
(Elsevier, 2022-07-04)
The environmental threat of discharging highly saline desalination brine into the sea and an expected growth in global demand for raw materials have increased interest in the idea of integrating desalination and material ...
Chapter 3 - Global potential for renewable energy powered desalination in the irrigation sector
(Academic Press, 2022-10-14)
Water scarcity poses one of the greatest threats to conventional irrigation systems, a sector whose water demand is continuously growing. Despite the reliance on irrigation, the average global irrigation efficiency is ...
