Abstract
In this review article the results for the last three years are given with regard to the energy payback time, the embodied energy, the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), conversion efficiency of life cycle, attenuation of the CO2 and the carbon credit earned (CCE). The study parameters are relatively difficult to follow their evolution according to the experimental prototype studied and the materials used. All depend on the nature of the design and the economic part. The findings demonstrated that embodied energy ranges from 30 to 100 percent of the total life cycle consumed. EPT typically depends on the location and the equipment used, and it has the least negative environmental effects when used in products with an average shelf life of 10 years or less, regardless of the type of solar still. Desalination methods attain their optimum efficiency very quickly in terms of sustainability, according to LCCE. CO2 mitigation is more likely to occur with active systems than with passive ones. The system (CSS + WM + PTC) with the highest embodied energy value among the systems under study has a value that is approximately 54% greater than that of CSS.
