cubic metre for residential tap water for the first 180 cubic metres in a year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\">The Rizhao facility can produce fresh water more cheaply than water-scarce Middle Eastern countries with major desalination operations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\">According to the Saudi Water Authority, which has the world\u2019s biggest desalination capacity at 11 million cubic metres per day, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have some of the world\u2019s lowest

water at the country\u2019s largest seawater desalination facility, the Claude \u201cBud\u201d Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant in California, was estimated at US$2.21 per cubic metre, according to a

producing a canister of hydrogen; it opens up a new path for \u2018extracting energy from the sea\u2019,\u201d Qin Jiangguang, a senior engineer at the Laoshan Laboratory, a marine research centre in the large port city of Qingdao, told the Shandong news outlet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\">Hydrogen is considered the ultimate non-polluting fuel and energy-storage medium. It is produced through electrolysis, a process where water is split into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\">Conventional technologies require high-purity water, especially fresh water, as poor water quality can cause the process to fail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\">For example, calcium and magnesium deposits in seawater can clog electrodes, while high concentrations of chloride ions can corrode electrolysis equipment and catalyst materials, according to Dazhong. But in northern coastal areas, freshwater resources are limited.<\/p>\n<div class=\"methode-html-wrapper oembed-wrapper e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"scmp-multimedia-embed e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"css-1xdhyk6 e1hwgni03\" data-qa=\"Component-WrapperContainer\">\n<div class=\"css-rx9bji e1hwgni02\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\"><iframe class=\"e1drg7e30 e1h4rrke0 css-u0ui22 e1hwgni01\" src=\"https:\/\/multimedia.scmp.com\/embeds\/2025\/hong_kong\/climate-change\/\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-qa=\"Component-StyledIframe\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-18=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\">To use natural seawater directly, the Shandong facility uses corrosion-resistant catalysts and technologies to regulate seawater.<\/p>\n<p class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\">The facility also uses waste heat to produce high-quality fresh water, eliminating the need for traditional cooling units.
