If it is for desalination why aren't they using solar, which wouldn't even need storage in that application.

Because you also get Methane as a by-product of natural gas production and that is the fuel for starship.

Methane is typically the vast majority of the gas, I figured they were burning it for desalination too, but it makes sense if they are burning just the other fraction.
