A new ocean renewable energy: osmotic energy
- "Scientists have long recognized the potential to generate renewable energy from the world’s oceans by harnessing the power of tides and waves. These forms of energy are often more difficult to tap into than other renewable sources like wind or solar, but new research, recently published in the journal Joule, highlights the possibilities of harnessing osmotic, or “blue,” energy. Osmotic energy, produced by the differences in pressure and salinity between freshwater and saltwater, can be used to generate electricity." - Excerpt from Yale Environment 360
