The Canary Islands Institute of Technology (ITC) has obtained a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS record for achieving the lowest energy consumption registered in a seawater desalination plant, with a certified value of 1.794 kWh per cubic meter of water produced.

The President of the Canary Islands, Mr. Fernando Clavijo Batlle, officially signed yesterday the declaration recognizing DesaLIFE as a strategic project for the Canary Islands, alongside 18 other initiatives.

The innovative DESALRO 2.0® desalination plant, launched by the Canary Islands Institute of Technology (ITC), has been selected as a ‘Qualifying Team’ in the XPRIZE Water Scarcity, a $119 million, multi-year global challenge aimed at driving access to clean water worldwide by creating reliable, affordable, and sustainable seawater desalination systems.

This is a space for the development of new desalination systems, brine valorization, and the use of renewable energy, where universities, research centers, public bodies, and companies collaborate.
