Sounds like you don’t have to boil the water as you do in distillation, so it would require a lot less energy.

From the article:
Water from one side is heated and allows water vapor to pass through the membrane, which is then condensed on the other side.

Actually, if you reduce the air pressure, water boils at a lower temperature. Ships heat the water and then inject a fine mist into a low pressure chamber. The water boils instantly and is drawn off and condensed while the solids fall to the bottom of the vessel.
