OceanWell tests deep-sea desalination pods to cut energy use

OceanWell is developing a novel desalination system that leverages deep-ocean pressure to reduce energy consumption by 40% compared to traditional methods. This technology, tested in Los Angeles County, aims to create large-scale "water farms" capable of producing millions of gallons of fresh water daily by 2030. A key challenge remains securing a sustainable power source for these offshore pods, with offshore wind turbines being a potential solution. AI
