Unified Framework for Osmotic Energy Conversion
Abstract Osmotic energy systems employ charged nanoporous membranes and nanochannels to convert salinity gradients into electrical power, offering a promising route to harvest one of Earth’s most abundant yet underexploited renewable resources—the oceans—and providing reliable, carbon-free electricity.

Influence of osmotic energy recovery/osmotic dilution on seawater desalination energy demand
, 2013 Supplying fresh, potable water to an ever increasing world population is becoming a major challenge. One possibility is to produce fresh water from seawater by Reverse Osmosis (RO), a process that is very energy intensive. To reduce the energy demand of this process, osmotic dilution (OD)/osmotic energy recovery (OER) systems can be used as pre ...

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.

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.
