China's Rizhao facility: Seawater to cheap water & green hydrogen.

• China launched a facility in Shandong producing drinking water and green hydrogen from saltwater.
• The facility utilizes waste heat from nearby factories, operating on a "one input, three outputs" model.
• Production cost is remarkably low at 2 yuan (approx. Rs. 24) per cubic meter, making it the cheapest globally.
• It produces ultra-pure drinking water, green hydrogen (192,000 cubic meters annually), and mineral-rich brine.
• The technology successfully overcomes corrosion issues, demonstrating continuous operation for three weeks.

Why It Matters: New Chinese tech provides cheap water and green fuel, addressing global shortages.
