(2021) disclosed that energy costs represent about 40– 60% of operational expenditures, which is an incentive to employ energy recovery technologies to decrease operational expenditures (Generous et al., 2021). Ahmadi et al. (2020) looked instead at the potential of renewable- powered desalination and concluded that solar-aided RO would reduce energy costs by 30%, although high initial CAPEX remains a barrier to adoption (Ahmadi et al., 2020).	cache/ajec-5414.pdf	txt/ajec-5414.txt
