Description
Description | Japan has launched its first osmotic power plant in Fukuoka, which generates electricity by exploiting the salinity difference between seawater and freshwater. The plant is expected to generate approximately 880,000 kilowatt-hours annually, enough to power around 220 Japanese households. The electricity produced is directed to a desalination facility supplying clean water to residents of Fukuoka and nearby areas. This facility is the second of its kind worldwide, following Denmark's pioneering project in 2023, and represents a breakthrough in renewable energy that operates continuously without carbon emissions or weather limitations. |
