By 2025, Kuwait Will Build A Water Desalination Center Using Renewable Energy

04 April 2022 Kuwait

The State Public Authority, in line with the nation's development plan and in response to the trend towards renewable energy, is working to establish a water desalination center using renewable energy according to its report on sustainable consumption and production.

Several sources told a local Arabic daily that the project deals with the research and development of desalination technology utilizing renewable energy. In the environmental and economic fields, it aims to reduce reliance on oil for future generations, thus achieving the vision development plan.

Approximately 48 million dinars will be spent on the project, which is scheduled for completion in 2025. It is planned to establish a factory that will produce 36,000 bottles of water of high quality per hour from wells along the coast, as well as a model plant that will produce half a million imperial gallons of pure fresh water using alternative energy sources.

A training and educational center is also included in the project to create an attractive and sustainable scientific environment in the country by raising awareness of the marine environment.

By using highly saline waters resulting from desalination to extract salt of high value, the project contributes to Kuwait's economic development as well as improving Kuwait's environmental ranking.

The project will focus on using advanced technologies for water treatment and desalination, such as membranes, hybrid techniques, thermal methods, and others, to produce fresh water with a high production capacity and low costs, as well as creating a commercial solution for producing fresh water from coastal wells with a stable temperature according to international standards.
