Abstract

Major desalination processes consume a large amount of energy derived from oil and natural gas as heat and electricity, while emitting harmful CO2. Solar desalination has emerged as a promising solar energy-powered technology for producing fresh water. This paper will provide an overview of the economics of solar desalination with an emphasis on the Saudi fact in order to estimate the economic benefits of it in comparison with other desalination systems.
