In his latest LinkedIn article<\/a>, Carlos Cosin<\/a>, CEO of Almar Water Solutions<\/a>, the dedicated water solutions unit at Abdul Latif Jameel Energy<\/a>, outlines the significant milestones achieved to date in non-conventional water sources such as desalination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than 21,000 desalination plants now located around the world, renewable energy<\/a> sources such as solar, wind, geothermal and nuclear energy have proven to be viable competitive solutions.  The increase in global water demand is expected to continue at a similar rate until 2050, 20 to 30% higher than the current level of water use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlos writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“2019 was the year with the highest number of seawater desalination projects contracted due to the awarding of several mega-contracts, and the market is expected to remain strong despite COVID-19. The desalination market is currently dominated by a small number of projects in the Gulf and the Middle East, with capacities of more than 300,000 m3\/day. This indicates that the water sector has remained resilient despite the circumstances, although it is true that the industrial market has been affected to a greater extent. This boom in mega-projects in the Gulf will be the defining trend in the desalination market over the next five years.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
