Manufacturers and Suppliers of Concentrated Solar Power Systems in Australia

This report examines manufacturers and suppliers of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), also known in Australia as Concentrated Solar Thermal (CST), operating within the Australian market.

CSP systems use mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto a receiver, producing high-temperature heat that can be used directly in industrial processes, stored for later use or converted into electricity through a power cycle.

This report evaluates available technologies and potential suppliers, with particular attention to their suitability for providing dispatchable renewable heat and supporting high-temperature applications such as SolDesal’s solar-powered desalination process.

Assessment of Salt Mining and Production Operations in Australia: Off-Take, Disposal and Desalinated Water Supply Opportunities

This report examines salt mining and production operations across Australia, including large-scale coastal solar saltfields, inland lake and groundwater operations, and the markets that purchase Australian salt.

It evaluates potential opportunities for SolDesal relating to desalinated process-water supply, salt off-take, and the treatment or disposal of concentrated brine and bittern. Particular attention is given to emerging projects where SolDesal’s desalination and resource-recovery technologies could reduce waste, recover valuable minerals and support more sustainable salt production.

Zero Liquid Discharge Possibilities in SOP Production via Crystallisation

This report examines the potential for Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) in sulfate of potash (SOP) production through crystallisation. It compares solar-pond, mechanical, thermal and membrane-based pathways for recovering water and valuable salts from concentrated brines.

Particular attention is given to integrating crystallisation technologies with SolDesal’s concentrated solar power (CSP)-paired desalination process. The report identifies opportunities to use surplus solar thermal energy to reduce the energy demands of conventional ZLD systems, minimise liquid waste and potentially recover valuable SOP and other mineral products from desalination brine.

AI Data Centre Growth and Cooling Water Demand: Opportunities for Desalinated Water Supply in Australia and the United States

This report examines the rapid growth of artificial intelligence data centres in Australia and the United States and the resulting increase in water demand for cooling high-density computing infrastructure.

It estimates cooling-water requirements using industry Water Usage Effectiveness benchmarks and evaluates the location, scale and coastal proximity of major data centre markets. Particular attention is given to opportunities for SolDesal to provide sustainable desalinated water to coastal data centre clusters, reducing pressure on municipal freshwater supplies while supporting the continued expansion of AI infrastructure.
