  • Reverse osmosis is commonly used in desalination worldwide, but the structure of the membrane devised by AUC researchers is what makes it unique. Composed of novel nanomaterials known as carbon nanotubes and a polymer, the membrane allows for higher water permeation and higher salt retention, leading to lower energy consumption per cubic meter of produced water.

  • Finally, we can reach the conclusion that the expected electricity generation costs of 1 kWh in four locations of Region A along the Red Sea in Egypt is less than 2 € cent/kWh, which is very competitive compared to the actual tariff system as shown in Table 7.

      Wind power is competitive.
  • A technical and economic assessment has been made of electricity generation from two turbines machines having capacity of (1000 and 600 kW) considered in Regions A & B, respectively, using WASP program. The yearly energy output, capacity factor and the electrical energy cost of kWh produced by the two different turbines in each region were estimated. The production costs of four stations in Region A was found to be less than 2€ cent/kWh and compared with retail tariff.
