Part 2/12:
At the core of Soul Diesel’s blueprint is a remarkably simple yet audacious idea: harness concentrated sunlight to produce high-temperature steam from seawater, which then drives turbines to generate electricity. Simultaneously, the same steam condenses into fresh drinking water, avoiding the typical environmental nightmare of hypersaline brine disposal—normally left behind as a toxic byproduct.
Their process only involves two inputs: seawater and solar energy. From these, they claim to produce three valuable outputs: clean freshwater, electricity, and salt. Additionally, the leftover brine from desalination is transformed into salt through crystallization, negating environmental waste and regulatory hurdles associated with dumping hypersaline liquids into the ocean.
