Membranes for Energy Harvesting using Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) | Energy In A Flash

Membrane technology has recently shown great potential for the sustainable production of clean energy. Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO); known as 'Blue Energy'; is a membrane-based process that generates power by harnessing osmotic power or salinity gradient energy.

More than 130 researchers, 600 graduate students, post docs and other highly qualified personnel in nine faculties are studying the energy transition in over 90 different projects. Our researchers seek to develop energy technologies of the future, improve today’s energy technologies, and understand the transition between the two. We are also studying the effects of energy transition on society, the economy, and the environment. Broadly speaking, we can simplify this complex system into four broad categories: -Energy generation, harvesting, and production -Transport, storage, and access -Use, impact, and regulation -Monitoring, management, and mitigation Through our Energy in a Flash Lightning Research Speaker Series, we will explore all four of these categories, and see how broad and diverse our energy systems truly are.
