United States Department of Energy Funding Opprtunity
You have until Monday, December 4 to submit a concept paper for the Solar Desalination funding opportunity.
Solar Desalination aims to develop novel technologies or concepts using solar thermal energy to assist in creating freshwater from otherwise unusable waters. Thermal desalination is a potential solution to increase water supplies for municipal water and agriculture, and is an important technology to purify water produced from various industrial processes, including oil and gas production. Advancing state-of-the-art thermal technologies and energy-efficient desalination systems will reduce the levelized cost of water by reducing the levelized cost of heat, resulting in more efficient thermal desalination processes and lower overall capital and integration costs for solar thermal desalination.
Across four topic areas, there will be approximately 7-10 awards, each ranging between $500,000 and $5 million for a total of $15 million.
