Abstract
Desolenator, the world's first solar thermal desalination technology company, was the brainchild of William Janssen (Janssen). The company aimed to deliver net-zero water with a new approach to water provisioning, which was 100% solar-powered, decentralised, and regenerative. Also, the company worked with some of the leading organisations to combat global water crisis and adverse impacts of climate change. Jannsen envisioned the need for a sustainable way to clean water in both the developing and the developed countries. In this regard, Desolenator had partnered with many organisations such as Ecolog International, Carlsberg Group, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), Abu-Dhabi based Silal, etc, and launched many pilot projects by using solar-powered desalination technology to produce fresh water. The projects aimed to decarbonise food production in dry climate by lowering the carbon footprint. Amidst this scenario, it remained to be seen whether Desolenator would be able to drive transformative change and ensure a water-secure sustainable future with its collaborative partnerships?
