The company behind DESERTGREENER
Seawater BV, founded in 2020, brings together the inventors and developers of the DESERTGREENER technology with the goal of making it globally available. In collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP in Holzkirchen, the DESERTGREENER, a solar-thermal device for producing fresh water from seawater and other saltwater sources, is being further developed.
The market potential for this technology is enormous. Given the growing demand for fresh water and the need for sustainable solutions, DESERTGREENER can make a significant contribution—with the right investments and customers—on a global scale.
Our vision
Our vision is to create a world where water scarcity is a thing of the past and deserts and saline soils are transformed into fertile, livable landscapes.
We strive to use our advanced DESERTGREENER technology to develop sustainable water supply solutions that enable new life wherever water is lacking.
Our goal is to revolutionize agriculture, ensure food security and provide new opportunities for people in affected regions by desalinating seawater, recycling salinated soils and using water resources efficiently.
We see a future in which our technology helps to reduce migration due to water scarcity and create stable living conditions for all.
Our mission
Our mission is to provide sustainable solutions to the global water crisis with the innovative DESERTGREENER technology.
We rely on state-of-the-art methods of seawater desalination, water treatment and efficient irrigation to create new opportunities in both desert regions and coastal areas with water scarcity.
By restoring and enhancing salinized soils, we enable productive agriculture and strengthen local economies. Our commitment includes working with communities, research institutions and partners worldwide to improve access to water, increase agricultural production and sustainably improve people’s quality of life.
