Caribbean Green Energy & Decentralized Water Treatment

With many Caribbean islands still rebuilding from the ground up after the hurricanes of 2017, the region could well be the ideal proving ground for this type of resilient, decentralized solution.

Distributed treatment, which limits the need for fossil fuels and extensive infrastructure, could be a perfect fit for the islands’ needs

Among water treatment industry professionals, consensus is growing that small- to medium-scale decentralized desalination and wastewater treatment plants are the way forward in a water-stressed future. But, governments continue to announce new water mega-infrastructure projects at an alarming rate. Because the public policy debate appears to have simply not caught up with current technology, many companies and NGOs with a focus on small- to medium-scale water treatment or renewable energy have begun to see the Caribbean as something of a new frontier.

Likewise, many in the Caribbean are awakening to the new reality that modes of renewable energy that didn’t seem attractive in an era of energy-thirsty technology have suddenly become viable with the arrival of new technologies that can deliver much more work on a limited electricity budget.

Many factors make distributed or decentralized treatment a perfect fit for the Caribbean. And, renewable energy is a perfect fit for the technologies that have recently made decentralization practical at all scales.
