Analysis on Pressure-Retarded Osmosis Reveals High Energy Generation Potential

Posted by Guest Contributor in Energy news on April 20, 2012

River mouths have recently been reported to have the capacity to produce renewable electricity that could support over half a billion people. A river mouth is where a river drains into the ocean. At that point there is a process termed as pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) that takes place. According to the new analysis, the pressure-retarded [...]

Experiment Shows Desalination Plants Could Produce Hydrogen

Posted by Ovidiu Sandru in Hydrogen Power on April 2, 2009

As the world’s potable water resources thin each year, scientists strive to decypher ways to use the immense amounts of water that abound the oceans and seas, and to make them drinkable. All that desalination process consumes energy resources, and that makes water more expensive to produce and drink in some parts of the world.
