China and India are also high potential markets for desalination due to popu- lation and economic growth along with water shortages. In China, the central government pays a lot of attention to desalination and cities on the east coast are implementing desalination plants to alleviate water scarcity (Haijun et al., 2008). Many Pacific islands also face water scarcity which poses food, economic, and health security issues. These countries are keen to accelerate renewable energy deployment to diversify their energy mix and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. Therefore, implementation of small stand-alone renewable desalination systems can provide viable solutions to both water and energy issues in the region. Australia has recently pursued desalination technologies to meet its growing water demand. Most desalination plants are in Western Australia (WA) where the Government of Western Australia requires new desalination plants to use renewable energy. The landmark project was the Perth Seawater Desalina- tion Plant (SWRO), which buys electricity generated by a wind farm north of Perth. The plant is designed to optimize the energy consumption and requires 3.4 kwh/m3, including overhead, and 2.2kwh/m3 for the plant only. Barriers – Combining variable renewable technologies and desalination pro- cesses, which require a constant energy supply, involves technical, economic and organizational issues. Technical developments include a large availability of low-cost renewable energy and energy storage technologies to face the variable nature of renewable energy. A key issue is the disposal of brine. High salt-content brine is the desalination waste to be disposed of or recycled. At present, it is mostly discharged into the sea or diluted and sprayed into an open space. However, the negative impact of brine on the ecosystems and the growing desalination capacity mean that a sustainable solution is needed for disposal and/or brine recycling to avoid environmental impacts (Gude, 2010). From an economic point of view, the identification of niche markets and proper policy frameworks may help attract private investors for renewable desalination to take off (Papapetrou, 2010). Not least, more cooperation and integration is needed between companies from the energy sector and com- panies from the water sector (Papapetrou, 2010), and more attention needs to be paid to barriers for developing countries, including high investment and operation costs, and trained personnel to run the plants.
