Osmotic energy, a little-known renewable energy source [PDF]

International Journal of Energy Production and Management, 2016
When the rivers lead into the sea, it merges two water bodies with different salinity level, releasing a large amount of energy when the solutions equilibrate its concentrations; this phenomenon is known as osmosis. With the purpose to use this energy to transform it into electricity, it has been developed a device with a semi-permeable membrane, when ...

Energy Aspects in Osmotic Processes

Desalination and Water Treatment, 2010
Water, energy and environmental issues are on the top list of the world problems. Energy is needed for augmenting our water resources. Renewable energies are hardly the answer since innovative techniques based on biofuels and biodiesel consume an incredible amount of water.

Nanoarchitectonics in Advanced Membranes for Enhanced Osmotic Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials
AbstractOsmotic energy, often referred to as “blue energy”, is the energy generated from the mixing of solutions with different salt concentrations, offering a vast, renewable, and environmentally friendly energy resource. The efficacy of osmotic power production considerably relies on the performance of the transmembrane process, which depends on ...

Evaluation of the Potential of Osmotic Energy as Renewable Energy Source in Realistic Conditions

Energy Procedia, 2013
AbstractThe possibility of using osmotic energy as renewable energy source is discussed here, and some experimental results at realistic operating conditions are presented. It is shown how a membrane-based PRO system could transform osmotic energy of seawater into electricity aided by river or wastewater.

Polyoxometalate-based plasmonic electron sponge membrane for nanofluidic osmotic energy conversion [PDF]

Nature Communications
Nanofluidic membranes have demonstrated great potential in harvesting osmotic energy. However, the output power densities are usually hampered by insufficient membrane permselectivity.

Unlocking osmotic energy harvesting potential in challenging real-world hypersaline environments through vermiculite-based hetero-nanochannels [PDF]

Nature Communications
Nanochannel membranes have demonstrated remarkable potential for osmotic energy harvesting; however, their efficiency in practical high-salinity systems is hindered by reduced ion selectivity.

Osmotic power — a new, renewable energy source

Desalination and Water Treatment, 2010
The mixing of freshwater and seawater where rivers flows into the salty ocean releases large amounts of energy. This energy can be harvested and made into electricity using pressure retarded osmosis (PRO). This is the concept of osmotic power, a new and yet unexploited source of renewable energy.
