A Danish-Indian collaboration network for developing a Green Irrigation technology using salt water

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

The aim of the GreenIrri network is to define and initiate joint research and
development projects, which will increase the biomass base for a green
industry transition from being fossil to biobased, renewable, and integrated in
the circular economy. Jointly the network will develop a water treatment
technology using the hydrophobic membranes to irrigate crops with
treated salt water. The mission is to increase the potential for extracting
biomass, by breaking the current barrier for global crop production
constituted by limited resources of freshwater for irrigation.

Layman's description

New types of membranes allow water to evaporate through their tiny pores, thus making it possible to destil saltwater to freshwater for use in irrigation. This could potentially allow a much higher production in global agriculture, which for the time being primarily is restricted by lack of freshwater.
