Desalination Powered by Ocean Energy (Wave and Tidal)

Ocean energy, including wave and tidal energy, can be used to power desalination systems, primarily Reverse Osmosis (RO). The energy generated from the movement of waves or tides is converted into electricity, which powers the desalination process.

• Applications: Coastal areas with strong wave or tidal movements, islands, and regions where wave energy technology is advanced.

• Advantages: A reliable source of energy in coastal areas, produces minimal environmental impact, and can operate independently of the grid. Wave energy is particularly useful for offshore desalination plants.
