“There will be no agricultural revolution unless we fix water.”
A stark warning from Johan Rockstrom, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, in today's Guardian (below).
The world is facing an impending water crisis, and the article references the Global Commission on the Economics of Water report recommendation to ‘ensure safe and adequate water for every vulnerable group.’
There are solutions for this. One of the keys to unlocking clean water in a sustainable way is supplying decentralized clean energy.
By deploying long-duration energy storage (LDES) in locations struggling without reliable grid access, you can combine it with renewable sources like solar to deliver electricity and heat whenever needed.
These in turn can be used for vital water purification and desalination processes, securing supply for the community.

Long-duration energy storage can supply 24/7 clean power to support renewable desalination and purification.
Global fresh water demand will outstrip supply by 40% by 2030, say experts
