Regional Application of Solar-Powered Membrane Capacitive Deionization (MCDI) in Saudi Arabia
With Saudi Arabia facing a water crisis and the need for sustainable desalination practices arising, Membrane Capacitive Deionization (MCDI) proves to be an attractive method. MCDI acts as a sustainable electrochemical approach for the desalination of brackish groundwater. With the addition of photovoltaic (PV) cells, it serves as a low-energy solution for remote communities within Saudi Arabia. This project provides a regional evaluation of how MCDI could be applied within the Kingdom, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for clean water and clean energy.
