This paper presents the concept of using energy generated from the cold fusion process in water treatment distillation. Even if solar energy remains the greenest one, the huge energy liberated from the cold fusion phenomenon suggests its utilization in the distillation process to gain energetic efficiency in terms of cost and time. Ten years ago, cold fusion specialists announced that they possess solid proof that ambient temperature fusion is genuine. Throughout employing the concept of cold fusion, the power plants possess distinctive benefits over the still hypothetical thermonuclear fusion. With a large success, compact cold fusion set-ups will be utilized on ships, in aircrafts, and in near and outer space travels. That, in principle, is inaccessible for the giant thermonuclear installations. For using cold fusion in water treatment industry, this is only an idea presented at its birth stage. Great work remains to be accomplished with a view to present the cold fusion process as an eco-friendly technology for producing energy for water treatment distillation. In fact, greening cold fusion as an energy source for water treatment distillation may be considered as a promising perspective. However, the term “greening” means here a process without any nuclear hazards and inherent pollutions.
