Abstract

Abstract This chapter presents desalination as one of the technologies to alleviate water scarcity and its contribution to the sustainable development goals. An overview of the world and regional desalination capacity is presented and areas where desalination has potential for development are identified. The overall concept of the microbial desalination cells is presented and the areas where key innovations were developed is presented. A discussion on the energy costs and production costs in seawater reverse osmosis is briefly discussed.
