Japan has launched its first osmotic power plant in the city of Fukuoka, marking a significant step in renewable energy innovation . This facility is only the second of its kind in the world and is designed to produce around 880,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. That’s enough to help power a local desalination plant that supplies fresh water to Fukuoka and nearby communities. According to Dr Ali Altaee from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), this output is equivalent to the electricity used by about 220 Japanese households. He explained that while osmotic power is still a developing technology, it has one big advantage over solar and wind—it operates continuously, day and night. “It relies simply on the mixing of fresh and salt water, so the energy flow can continue day and night, providing a steady source of electricity.” How osmotic power works Osmosis is the natural process where water moves through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated to a more c...
