This paper evaluates the implementation ofsalinity gradient power(SGP) based onreverse electrodialysis(RED) in theCaribbean regionof Colombia, specifically at the Magdalena River mouth (MRM). Our multidisciplinary approach comprises technical, technological, and technology diffusion assessments (market analysis). We estimate the theoretical energy potential in the MRM from spatial and temporal…

Renewable energy resources are now of growing interest and so is the technology to use them. From the available ocean energy resources, salinity gradients are the least studied. The natural coastal processes in countries within the tropics, like Mexico, generously provide the essentials for the development of intense salinity gradients: abundant rainfall and intense solar radiation (high rates…

This study is the first comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) of reverse electrodialysis (RED), a technology that converts salinity gradient energy into electricity. Our goal is to identify RED system components of environmental concern and provide insights on potential environmental impacts. We conduct an attributional LCA of two RED scenarios: large-scale energy generation from natural…

In this chapter we cover the potential environmental impacts, the economic performance, the resource availability, and the relevant regulatory aspects of salinity gradient power (SGP) technologies. We discuss how these issues depend on the technology applied(reverse electrodialysis or pressure retarded osmosis), on the sources of water used and on the specific site conditions. Regarding the…

North Carolina has many rivers, tributaries, and back barrier sounds that form complex estuarine systems, the largest of which is the Albemarle Pamlico Estuarine System. The extensive nature of North Carolina estuaries’ vertical and horizontal salinity gradients makes this region a suitable subject for the exploration of salinity gradient energy as an alternative clean energy source.…

The development and exploitation of sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources are required in order to resolve global energy shortages and to reduce the reliance of many countries on fossil fuel combustion. Salinity gradient energy has been considered a potential candidate for renewable energy due to the abundance of saline waters that could be combined with less saline solutions…

Securing a sustainable supply ofwater and energy is nowadays a key global issue. In the current practice ofwater and energy supply, there is still some gap in meeting the value criteria forsustainable developmentmainly related toenvironmental pollutionas well as ecosystem disturbances. In this work, thesustainabilityof integrated membrane based processes for water andenergy productionis…

Ocean energy is one of several viable alternatives for generating electricity in coastal regions. Given that the world's coasts represent <15% of the planet's continental surface, with half of the world's cities of over 100,000 inhabitants found here, ocean energy is particularly attractive. Indeed, the potential population that could benefit from Marine Renewable Energy…

Thennakoon et al.
Ocean energy has emerged as a highly promising and environmentally sustainable means of generating renewable electricity, owing to its vast untapped potential. This study focuses on an array of ocean energy technologies, which include tidal energy, wave energy, OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion), salinity gradient energy, and ocean current energy. It examines various power generation…

Marine renewable energy development aims to harness the vast resources of the coastal environment to meet growing energy demands. Among the variety of coastal energy sources, salinity gradient energy (SGE) technology captures the energy released from the controlled mixing of waters of different salinities found naturally in estuarine systems or in other combinations of anthropogenic sources of…

It is for the reader in the worldwide: following the recent research papers in theInternational Journal of River Basin Managementby Haddout and Priya (2020) and Haddout et al. (2020), estuaries renewable energy, salinity gradient energy (SGE) as example, can be gained from the controlled mixing of two solutions with different salt concentrations, taking advantage of the chemical potential…

In Mexico, the CEMIE-Océano (Mexican Center for Ocean Energy Innovation) is exploring potential locations for marine energy production while assessing social perception and protecting the environment. The goals of this study were to: a) calculate potential renewable energy production in the north of the Yucatan Peninsula; b) understand the perception of the local inhabitants towards the…

Cyprus relies on seawater desalination for a large part of its drinking water supply, with reverse osmosis providing more than 95% of the total desalination capacity in the country. Nevertheless, the environmental impacts of desalination for the Cypriot environment remain poorly understood. Using a combination of mining existing governmental and corporate survey data and reports, this study…

The Pan American Marine Energy Conference (PAMEC) is intended to bring together researchers in marine renewable energy in the Americas (including the Caribbean). This new research conference is part of a global network of conferences that includes the European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (EWTEC) and the Asian Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (AWTEC).
This book includes the…

Stormwater runoff is a significant source of coastal pathogen pollution. Here, we demonstrate field-scale use of a charge-free mixing entropy battery (MEB) to tap the salinity gradient voltage between stormwater and seawater and use it to power stormwater disinfection in an UV-LED module, achieving a 2.8 log reduction inE. coli.

Salinity gradient energy capture by reverse electrodialysis (SGE-RED) can play a part in the shift away from fossil fuels towards a carbon-neutral renewable energy supply; however, like other renewable power technologies, SGE-RED environmental soundness hinges on its whole life-cycle environmental loads. This study surveys the Life Cycle Assessment of SGE-RED technology. We quantified (i) the…

The Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Mexico offer a variety of marine energy sources for exploitation. Although the Mexican government has made important efforts to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, national participation in clean energies is still limited in terms of electricity production. This paper presents a practical theoretical assessment of marine energy sources around Mexico, with…

Renewable ocean energy is an alternative that will help reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere. However, there is uncertainty aboutpotential environmental impactsof the technologies involved, because these are new and untested, and methods for the evaluation and monitoring of environmental impacts are scarce. We performed asystematic literature review(well-structured and organized, always…
