Overview
Advanced desalination technologies are becoming more energy-efficient and cost-effective, addressing growing global water scarcity. Solar-powered desalination, graphene membranes, and biomimetic systems inspired by mangrove trees are reducing energy requirements by up to 50%. Forward osmosis and capacitive deionization offer alternatives to traditional reverse osmosis. As climate change intensifies droughts, desalination is becoming essential for water security in arid regions. The global market is projected to reach $32 billion by 2027.
