The RED Power plant planned for 2023 in the Rhone delta, France
OSMOTIC POWER SYSTEM EXPLANATION
2 main types of electric generation with Osmosis:
- Reverse Electrodialysis (RED)
- Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO)
OSMOTIC POWER EFFICIENCY
Median Surface Power Density* by renewable energy source in 2022 – W/m²
Osmotic Energy at an early development stage already superior to Wind energy in terms of Surface Power density
Expected to surpass Solar on the mid-term. Target: 30 W/m²
* Power (in Watts) more likely to be produced throughout the world according to its surface (in m²)
**According to the energy produced in osmotic plants in 2022
ENERGY SOURCE COMPARISONS
The Osmotic power plant expected to be installed in the Rhone delta in France in 2023:
- 25 MW power
- 20-30 W/m²
- 4000 m² plant surface
- 30 000 households powered
