the article describes a German-Egyptian project which started in 2007 and is ongoing. It is a first-hand account of the lead-scientist. Links are always updated and extensive information can be downloaded via the respective links. The author can be contacted if any questions occur. Performance numbers given in the article are necessary to understand the technology of the IBTS Greenhouse. The same can be said for the rest of the information given. In no form or fashion can the article be mistaken for advertisement, as stated in the paragraph below. Example: The IBTS is operated with electrical and thermal energy produced from wind power and concentrated solar power, on-site (in a proprietary process). This means that the energy requirement and the use of primary energy can be considered the same, which is not the case for common desalination plants Common desalination plants are dependent on power-plants using fossil fuels. Accounting for energy-loss during the energy transformation in the power-plant, common desalination plants use 2-3 times more energy than stated in the usual performance data. These are common factors for energy-conversion losses for the combustion engines used in the desalination industry. Taking this into account the IBTS uses less than 5% of the current efficiency world-record. This industrial record is about 3.5kWh/m3 plus ca. 1.0kWh/m3 for seawater pumping and other factors not accounted for. It is multiplied with the efficiency of primary energy use. Together 9-14 kWh/m3 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:C7:EF0F:7709:4130:471E:BB2B:FC65 (talk) 14:30, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"I reviewed this lemma as it was written as an advertisement, removing all non-factual and non-neutral content. I have to say that the state of this article is nonetheless still deploring. I urge the author, stakeholders and critical reviewers to make it a Wikipedia worthy article. The technology seems plausible. The substantiation is not. For all important claims like energy consumption etc., it is required to cite two independent sources that substantiate it."
