Desolenator

Desalination of sea and brackish water is one of the fastest-growing areas of water provisioning; however, it is unsustainable and expensive today. Desolenator is a transformative approach to water provisioning: Our world-first solar thermal desalination solution harnesses the photons of the sun to turn seawater or brackish water into high-quality, pure water with zero harm to the planet. Protecting critical business assets $225b worth of critical business assets are at risk due to water scarcity. Desolenator's climate technology secures critical assets and value chains for businesses exposed to the water crisis. Water provisioning for communities Almost two-thirds of the world's population faces severe water scarcity at least once a month per year, totaling four billion people. Desolenator's modular technology provides reliable, sustainable, and affordable water to communities in need, no matter how remote. Ocean-safe Desolenator is a step-change to traditional desalination, which is unsustainable. Contrarily to reverse osmosis (RO), our patented process uses zero harmful chemicals, zero membranes, and zero energy intermittency, operating 24/7 off-grid. This solar-first technology harvests 4x more energy than traditional PV and solves the energy issue that has long plagued traditional desalination methods. Integrated with Zero Liquid Discharge, this circular technology enables the production of quality water and salt where nothing goes back into our oceans. At the heart of the water-food-energy nexus, Desolenator is central to the water-food-energy nexus: The vital interplay between water, food, and energy resources. We harness solar power to purify water, which in turn addresses both water and energy challenges. By resolving these issues, we secure the food supply, forming the foundation for a thriving civilization.

Purpose

Desolenator's mission is to waterproof communities and business with zero harm to the planet and provide sustainable and reliable water to a thirsty world.

Alignment with Guiding Principles


At the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, we invite companies of all sizes, industries, and geographies to champion our Guiding Principles for Inclusive Action and demonstrate how they contribute to meaningful change. To ensure alignment with our principles, our members are assessed by at least one reporting body, sustainability-related certificate, benchmark, rating agency or similar organization.

We believe it is vital to state clearly to the world the set of our beliefs about Inclusive Capitalism. As such, we start with our Statement of Guiding Principles for Inclusive Capitalism. Knowing that words alone are not enough, each of us is making a series of commitments about how we will operate our institutions so that they help achieve Inclusive Capitalism. These commitments are forward-looking statements based on current goals, expectations and assumptions, which are not guarantees of future performance.
