We talk about #Solar #ThermalSolar #GeoThermal #Wind and #Tide in terms of power. What if #Osmotic and specifically #Pro performs better than the other forms of power generation?
Osmosis can also drive power turbines. Here's how:

Japan🇯🇵 has just switched on Asia’s first #osmotic power plant in Fukuoka, which runs 24/7 by mixing #fresh and #salt water💦 to generate about 880,000 kWh annually. That's enough to power around 220 homes 💧⚡️
Only the second #power-plant of its type in the world, it is expected to generate about 880,000 kilowatt hours of electricity each year – enough to help power a desalination plant that supplies fresh water to the city and neighbouring areas. #osmotic

"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💡
#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.

Fig. 1 When external salinity increases, euryhaline fish try to maintain constant internal osmotic pressures (homeostasis) by altering their osmoregulatory sub-PRN to intake more water and excrete excess ions. Above is a schematic highlighting some (not all) of this homeostatic response. Osmosensors in the gut, gills, and brain detect internal changes in osmotic pressure, which leads to a endocrine response. Highlighted here are two hormonal responses stemming from the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Interrenal axis: (1) ACTH released from the pituitary stimulates the release of cortisol (CORT) from the interrenal into the bloodstream, and (2) GH is released into the bloodstream from the pituitary. CORT and GH then bind to receptors in the gill, which triggers the hypo-osmoregulatory function of the gills: the proliferation of saltwater type ionocytes. These ionocytes then sense osmotic changes and excrete excess ions via ion transporters (see text for specifics). Hence, although the gill, brain, and gut form their own trans-organ sub-PRN, each organ itself also contains a smaller sub-PRN, and communication between the tissues is facilitated by the neuroendocrine system (connection between the brain and gill). Depending on the severity of the (salinity) stress and the makeup of the individual’s sub-PRNs, which is determined by the individual’s genotype to phenotype map, the fish will enter one of 4 zones of stress: Optimal, Pejus, Pessium, Lethal. These zones are described in detail in Fig. 2, and the behavioral consequences are highlighted here. Depending on the zone, an individual will either engage in: fitness increasing tasks like reproduction (baby fish), behavioral regulation to reduce stress (circular arrows), or fleeing the environment (left pointing fish).

2/4 For example, root growth recovers after #salt_stress and #cold_stress, but not after #osmotic or #heat_stress. They show that under osmotic and heat stress, the S/G2 and G2/M phases of the cell cycle are attenuated—and do not resume upon recovery.

#Osmotic energy is a lesser-known form of energy generation that captures the energy generated from the natural salinity gradient between freshwater and saltwater. This type of #energy – also known as “blue energy” – is generated through the natural phenomenon of osmosis.
