The mission of the non-profit Carbon Negative Water and Energy is to promote the research, development, education, application, production, economics, marketing, and deployment of related technologies needed to realize the “CanWE Environmental Trifecta.” The CanWE environmental trifecta 1) reduces climate change by reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere, 2) produces fresh water from desalination, and improves water quality by preventing salinization of water supplies from brine disposal and de-icing practices, as well as neutralizing acid precipitation and acid mine drainage. 3) promotes clean energy by producing energy carriers (lithium and hydrogen) for clean energy storage. The CanWE Environmental Trifecta can be realized by combining existing processes and industries, with existing recently developed technologies, streamlined along a single, energy economic vector.
