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
