The seawater greenhouse technology is paired with Concentrated Solar Power electricity generation facilities. The system uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy in order to create high temperatures to produce steam that can power a conventional steam turbine. The surrounding facilities and vegetation will ensure that more sun reaches the mirrors and less dust settles on the reflecting surfaces. Saltwater from the greenhouse will be used to cool the CSP-facility so as to cost-efficiently increase power production. The waste heat from the CSP-facility will then be used to provide heating to the greenhouse during cold nights. | The seawater greenhouse technology is paired with Concentrated Solar Power electricity generation facilities.
