Osmotic Energy Continues the Green Commitment.
Exciting news released today from Norway concerning another source of renewable clean energy being harnessed. Osmotic Energy, which is produced by different concentration
levels of liquids. When freshwater and seawater meet on either side of a membrane, and a thin layer that retains salt but lets water pass freshwater is drawn towards the seawater side. The flow puts pressure on the seawater side, and that pressure can be used to drive a turbine, producing electricity.
An advantage of Osmotic renewable energy over Solar and Wind Power is that it is a predictable form of alternative energy, therefore allowing the amount of green energy that will be produced to be calculated.
The first osmotic power plant is located on the banks of the Oslo fjord, and could be the start of many more renewable energy plants in the future, thus helping the world continue their green commitment.
