Norwegians, Dutch Mix Sea and River to Make Power

“Water will be the coal of the future,” French science-fiction writer Jules Verne predicted in 1874. More than a century later in a world seeking clean alternatives to fossil fuels, Dutch and Norwegian scientists believe they can help turn Verne’s dream into reality. The Dutch Centre for Sustainable Water Technology or Wetsus, and Norway’s independent research organisation SINTEF, working with power company Statkraft, have invented devices that generate electricity by mixing sea and river water.
