Blue Energy

Blue Energy, also known as osmotic power or salinity gradient energy, is a renewable energy source that harnesses the natural movement of water between salty and fresh water. When freshwater and seawater come into contact, the difference in salt content creates a pressure that can be used to generate electricity. This process typically occurs at river estuaries, where freshwater meets the ocean. Blue Energy offers a sustainable way to produce clean power without greenhouse gas emissions, using a natural and abundant resource—saltwater—making it an innovative option for diversifying renewable energy sources.
