Principle of Working
Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO):
Principle of Working
Reverse Electro Dialysis (RED)
State of Technology
 Advantages

• Renewable energy source.

• No carbon emissions during energy production.

• Not affected by weather.

• Relatively clean energy.

• High efficiency.
 Disadvantages and Challenges

Disadvantages Challenges

• Power capacity is mostly • Not Cost effective.

low.
• Fresh water and salt water
• Location-specific must be as pure as possible.

• Waste of brackish water. • Developing technology.

 Environmental Impact

• Osmotic power, particularly with PRO, minimizes environmental effects

• Plant's discharge mimics a river's flow, but excessive brackish water releases can
impact marine ecosystems.
• PRO faces challenges with water impact on temperature and aquatic life,
requiring extensive implementation for practical use and environmental
assessments.
 Current Usage Trends & Case Studies

• Statkraft: a leading company in hydropower and Europe’s largest generator of

renewable energy. PRO based.

• REDstack: under the orders of Dutch King Willem-Alexander. REDstack, a

subsidiary from the Dutch water institution Wetsus
