#81 - Maxime Therrillion: OSMOSUN

In this episode, we welcomed Maxime Therrillion, Head of Business Development at OSMOSUN, to discuss how they integrate solar energy with reverse osmosis for sustainable water desalination. Maxime shared his journey into the water sector, driven by the goal of addressing vital water needs. OSMOSUN, established in 2014, focuses on combating water scarcity without contributing to climate change.

Maxime explained their technology, which enables reverse osmosis systems to run on solar power without needing batteries or grid connections. This approach not only offers a cost-effective solution but also reduces environmental impact. The discussion covered adapting to different geographies, the significance of water quality, and OSMOSUN's financial models that support global deployment.

A key story shared was their project in Cape Verde, demonstrating the technology's impact on agriculture by providing fresh water for irrigation, thus tackling both climate and social challenges. This episode is essential for those interested in the intersection of technology, sustainability, and water solutions.
