Point Paterson Desalination Plant
- Point Paterson Desalination Plant
The Point Paterson Desalination Plant is a planned municipal-scale solar-powered desalination plant with land-based brine disposal just outside Port Augusta, South Australia. The Point Paterson Project utilizes a salt flat owned by a salt company but which has not been in use for solar salt production for decades. The plant will integrate renewable energy and desalination technologies to create environmentally-friendly electricity and water. In particular, the project will significantly reduce the usual greenhouse impacts associated with grid electricity demand for desalination.[ [http://www.publish.csiro.au/?act=view_file&file_id=EC134p4.pdf Solar-powered desalination plant leads the way] ] The project has attracted the interest of internationally renowned climatologist Professor Stephen Schneider, who has now joined the Board of Acquasol.]ee also
