Osmotic Power Generation
Harvesting energy from the salinity difference between fresh and salt water.
Also known as Blue Energy, this technology generates electricity where rivers meet the sea. Using advanced semi-permeable membranes, Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) or Reverse Electrodialysis (RED) captures the chemical potential energy of mixing water, turning water treatment plants and estuaries into power stations.
