PRESENT SITUATION

Statkraft and R&D partners represent state of the art

osmotic power knowledge and is the only known

serious developer of the concept

The most prominent challenges are:

Efficient membrane

Process optimisation and scale-up

Acknowledged by a range of industrial companies,research organisations and official organisations

Statkraft will continue its development of OsmoticPower membranes in cooperation with industry andscience
