Die weltweit erste Unterwasser-Entsalzungsanlage nutzt den Meeresdruck, um den Energieverbrauch zu halbieren

In 2026, Norwegian startup Flocean is slated to launch the world’s first demonstrator and commercial-scale subsea desalination plant at Mongstad, Norway.

By moving operations to the ocean floor, the company addresses the high costs, environmental damage, and energy intensity associated with standard land-based desalination facilities.

Flocean’s technology operates at depths of 300–600 meters to make seawater drinkable. This location provides a fundamental engineering advantage.
