Key Findings
- Additional large-scale seawater desalination plants at the Mediterranean coastline are essential to overcome water scarcity in Israel, Palestine, and Jordan.
- Seawater desalination plants on offshore structures such as artificial islands are economically viable and have ecological advantages concerning the intake and outfall compared to onshore solutions.
- The integration of renewable energy sources can reduce water production costs. In addition, offshore generation of renewable energy could reduce the amount of energy to be stored.
