🌏 earthrise - How it Works: Osmotic Power

YouTube
"Describing #osmotic power as “a next-generation #renewable #energy source that is not affected by weather or time of day and emits no carbon dioxide,” the agency framed the start-up as a step toward round-the-clock clean electricity." interestingengineering.com/energy/asias... Very cool💡

How Japan’s first osmotic power plant turns saltwater into energy

Japan opens its first osmotic power plant in Fukuoka, generating 880,000 kWh annually. Enough to power 220 homes with saltwater energy.

Interesting Engineering
Japan has opened its first osmotic power plant – so what is it and how does it work?

The site in Fukuoka is only the second power plant of its type in the world, harnessing the power of osmosis to run a desalination plant in the city

#KnowledgeByte: #Osmotic #Power systems, also known as salinity gradient power or blue energy, generate electricity by harnessing the natural energy released when fresh water and saltwater mix.

#Salt stress is a growing problem for global #agriculture. A new study reveals that, in response to salt and #osmotic stress, the dual-action #evolutionarily conserved NatB catalytic subunit NAA20 in Poplar regulates #root #development.

"KEY POINTS
• Surface ice-melt water can migrate downward driven by the osmotic pressure associated with a cryopeg, a lens of salty water below
• Overpressure can cause the frozen soil to crack resulting in mechanical explosion.."

New explanation for Siberia’s permafrost craters

Mysterious craters in the Yamal Peninsula were created by a combination of warming and osmosis.

So #actin would be able to start the #lumen opening, and then a switch to #osmotic pressure driven growth would allow further opening before #buckling of actin.
Interesting.
