Exploring how modern technology is addressing the environmental impacts of desalination to create sustainable solutions to water scarcity.
Climate change is raising sea levels, intensifying storms and driving long-term drying trends called aridification. Global mean surface temperature has risen about 1.1°C above preindustrial levels, intensifying evapotranspiration and reducing soil moisture in many regions.
The page examines ethical issues around communities, farming, ecosystems and AI competing for limited freshwater as data centers increase global water demand.
The page compares reverse osmosis desalination with traditional desalination technologies and describes OceanWell’s use of solutions to produce fresh water sustainably.
Las Virgenes Water District partners with OceanWell to pilot subsea desalination technology, aiming to produce 10 million gallons of freshwater daily, reducing environmental impact and energy costs.
Subsea desalination is dominated by three companies, two from Norway and one from the US. More countries are exploring offshore facilities, from the seabed to the ocean’s surface.
The page features OceanWell news, announcements, projects, and technology developments related to ocean-based water production initiatives.
This comes as the water tech company marks a milestone year with new funding and selection for the European Water Tech Accelerator
The page describes OceanWell’s mission to expand water availability through offshore desalination technology and sustainable freshwater production.
OceanWell creates energy-efficient deep sea water farms to create abundant, sustainable freshwater while protecting marine ecosystems.
OceanWell, Flocean, and Waterise are developing deep-sea reverse osmosis systems that use ocean pressure to desalinate water with smaller pumps. The companies project their systems will use 30% to 50% less energy than onshore reverse osmosis, while producing more dilute brine. OceanWell announced an $11 million Series A, and Flocean announced a $9 million Series A. Flocean has agreements to deploy demonstration systems in the Maldives and Jordan.
