Japan inaugurated its first osmotic power plant, also known as blue energy, in the coastal city of Fukuoka. This plant generates electricity by harnessing the osmotic pressure created when fresh water from treated wastewater passes through a semipermeable membrane into saltwater from a nearby desalination plant. The plant produces clean and continuous electricity, expected to generate about 880,00

Description
Description | Japan inaugurated its first osmotic power plant, also known as blue energy, in the coastal city of Fukuoka. This plant generates electricity by harnessing the osmotic pressure created when fresh water from treated wastewater passes through a semipermeable membrane into saltwater from a nearby desalination plant. The plant produces clean and continuous electricity, expected to generate about 880,000 kilowatt-hours per year, enough to supply 220 households. The electricity will primarily power the adjacent desalination plant, exemplifying a circular economy integrating water and energy. |
