The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the University of California Merced, for the design, development, fabrication, and testing of a small scale solar desalination system. The desalination system would include both an Internal Compound Parabolic Concentrator (ICPC) and a Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system. The project would be completed over two budget periods (BP). This NEPA determination reviews all BP 1 and 2 tasks and subtasks as identified in the project’s Statement of Project Objectives.
