A concept note proposes a seawater reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant on Syria’s Mediterranean coast, designed to supply potable water via pipeline to inland cities. The note outlines the technical design, optimal capacity, comparable regional projects, cost estimates, financial viability, and key considerations for implementation. The evaluation considers two energy supply options for powering the plant – a gas-fired power source versus a hybrid renewable approach – to identify the most feasible and sustainable model.

Strategic LNG Opportunity on Syria’s Mediterranean Coast Syria’s Mediterranean coastline offers a highly strategic location for the development of a new LNG terminal capable of both liquefaction (gas-to-LNG) and regasification (LNG-to-gas). This paper proposes a phased development approach for a terminal with a capacity of 2 to 5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). Such a facility would serve as a critical node for enhancing Gulf ans Syrian Gas export flexibility toward Europe, supplying gas to Syria and Lebanon, and reinforcing regional energy security in the Eastern Mediterranean.
