IBM partnership unveils plans for solar powered desalination plant in Middle East

摘要

A joint partnership proposal could see a solar powered desalination facility provide up to 30,000 cubic meters of water a day to 100,000 people in Saudi Arabia.rnThe proposed plant will be built in the city of Al Khafji and powered by a ultra-high concentrator photovoltaic (UHCPV) technology, jointly developed between Saudi Arabia's national research and development organisation, King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) and IBM.
