The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Rice University to research the potential to use Nanophotonics Enhanced direct Solar Membrane Distillation (NESMD) technology for commercial solar desalination. The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BP). This NEPA determination is for all BPs and all tasks and subtasks as identified in the Statement of Project Objectives.
