Dutch investigators want to produce electricity from the "blue energy"
The Dutch company REDstack BV opened yesterday the doors of a factory, in a pilot project, will produce electricity from the difference between the levels of salt concentration in seawater and fresh water.This process, the Dutch researchers call "blue energy", employs two filters with salt water and sweet. A permit entry of positively charged sodium ions, while the other allows the entry of negatively charged chloride ions, producing a natural battery."We need wind to wind power and solar panels only work during the day, but the water is always running," said Rik Siebers, CEO of REDstack BV. According to Fox News, the company wants to popularize the blue energy until 2020, when new power stations will be built.For now, the plant will only produce 50 MW, that will electrify nearly 100 houses. One of the reasons why the Dutch researchers came to this energy is geographical: the rivers Rhine and Meuse are at sea in this country. The factory is located strategically on the Afsluitdijk, a giant dam that turned part of the North Sea into a freshwater lake in 30 years.The project is funded by the Dutch Government and various corporate sponsors.
