Energy required for a desalination plant by source 2016

This statistic displays the carbon footprint that would be associated with powering a seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant. Based on greenhouse gas emissions associated with production energy, the use of solar photovoltaics to power a reverse osmosis plant would accrue a carbon footprint of 248 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per cubic meter.

本统计数据显示了为驱动海水反渗透脱盐厂所需的碳排放足迹。基于与生产能源相关的温室气体排放，采用太阳能光伏发电为反渗透工厂供电，将累计产生每立方米248克的二氧化碳当量碳排放足迹。
