Imagine a shimmering field of mirrors generating solar energy and fresh drinking water for a city of 15,000. That's the vision water and power project developer Acquasol Infrastructure Ltd has for Port Augusta, South Australia. The project will both help reduce South Australia's greenhouse gas emissions and save the state millions of dollars each year in water subsidies for the Upper Spencer Gulf.
"We aim to be putting in a demonstration of solar thermal powered desalination specifically targeted to demonstrate to the local community, to the Government and to companies such as BHP Billiton the advantages of powering large scale desalination with solar thermal power," he said.
