Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Marine Renewable Energy-Powered Desalination”, will explore the innovative combination of marine renewable energy and desalination technologies, offering a platform for the latest research, advancements, and discussions related to this emerging yet important field.
The focus of this Special Issue is twofold. Firstly, it will highlight advancements in marine renewable energy technologies, such as ocean wave, tidal, ocean current, and ocean thermal energy conversion, as well as their potential applications in powering desalination processes. Identifying solutions for integrating these renewable energy sources with desalination systems in cost-effective and environmentally friendly approaches is one of our goals.
Secondly, the Special Issue seeks to highlight the advancements in desalination techniques, including forward osmosis, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, and thermal distillation, and how they can be optimized for use in combination with marine renewable energy sources. This includes innovations in system design, technology validation, efficiency improvements, and reducing the environmental impacts of desalination processes.
This Special Issue will feature original research articles, experimental case studies, and reviews of recent advancements in the topics mentioned above.
Dr. Xiaofan Li
