The main question for this topic @ Billion Dollar Questions: What are the alternative energy sources available to us?

 

See a list of all the topics under the question here.

 

Content derived from Wikipedia article on Blue energy

 

Blue energy is the energy retrieved from the difference in the salt concentration between seawater and river water with the use of reverse electro dialysis (RED) (or osmosis) with ion specific membranes. The waste product in this process is brackish water.

 

The technology of reversed electrodialysis has been confirmed in laboratory conditions. As in common technologies, the cost of the membrane was an obstacle. A new, cheap membrane, based on an electrically modified polyethylene plastic, made it fit for potential commercial use.

 

As in a fuel cell, the cells are stacked.

 

In the Netherlands, for example, more than 3,300 m³ fresh water runs into the sea per second on average. The energy potential is therefore 3,300 MW, based on an output of 1 MW/m3 fresh water per second.

 

Size

 

A module with a capacity of 250 kW has the size of a shipping container.

 

Testing

 

2005 A 50 kW plant is located at a coastal test site in Harlingen, the Netherlands. The focus is on prevention of biofouling on the anode, cathode and membranes and increasing the membrane performance.

 

Other "Blue Energy"

 

A leading tidal energy company is named "Blue Energy".
