The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a prize competition to spur innovation in wave energy-powered desalination systems. The Waves to Water Prize will draw upon U.S. innovators to accelerate technology development through a series of contests to demonstrate small, modular, cost-competitive desalination systems that use the power of the ocean to provide potable drinking water to remote coastal and island communities.
“The United States is committed to meeting the global need for a vital resource — safe, secure, and affordable water,” said Assistant Secretary Daniel Simmons, speaking at Oceanology International: Americas. “The Waves to Water Prize will accelerate the
