RESEARCH GOALS
This project aims to regreen deserts in semi-arid areas by providing
sufficient water for agriculture. It is foreseen that in the final stage,
the vegetation itself restores the local water cycle. In general, the
major goals of this research can be summarized as:
• The design and building of an efficient solar simulator to mimic
sunlight.
• Optimizing a direct solar steam generation (DSSG) material that
absorbs low-wavelength light but has a low emissivity of highwavelength radiation.
• Designing an integrated desalination device.
• The evaluation of the (large-scale) device in terms of impact
applying atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) modeling.
