The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to authorize the administration of the fourth and final phase (Test Contest) of Round 2 of a prize competition (The American-Made Challenge: Solar Desalination, or “Prize”) to accelerate technology innovation through the design, development, and demonstration of desalination systems that use solar thermal energy to produce clean water from very high-salinity water. The Prize would be administered by the Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) in partnership with the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL).
