Recent progress in renewable energy based-desalination in the Middle East and North Africa MENA region

Enas Taha Sayed et al.

Summary: Background: The population in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries is growing rapidly, but they have very limited access to freshwater resources. To solve this challenge, seawater desalination is proposed as an effective solution since most MENA countries have easy access to saline water. However, desalination processes require massive amounts of energy, which is largely met by fossil fuel-driven power plants. With the advancements in renewable energy technologies and their decreasing cost, renewable energy-driven power plants and processes are becoming a promising alternative to conventional fuel-powered plants.
