The depletion of fossil fuels has become a significant global issue, prompting scientists to explore and refine methods for harnessing alternative energy sources. This study provides comprehensive review advancements emerging technologies in the desalination industry, focusing on technological improvements economic considerations. analysis highlights potential synergies integrating multiple renewable systems enhance efficiency minimise environmental consequences. main areas focus include aligning developing like membrane distillation, pervaporation forward osmosis with implementing hybrid improve scalability viability enterprises. also analyses obstacles related driven by energy, including storage, fluctuations supply, deployment costs. By resolving these investigating novel methodologies, enhances understanding how can be used construct more efficient, sustainable, economical systems. Thermal require than membrane-based due requirements associated water vaporisation. photovoltaic-powered reverse (RO) system had most economically favourable production cost, while MED powered via concentrated solar power (CSP) highest cost. aims guide future research development efforts, ultimately promoting worldwide use energy-powered
