                                Every cubic meter of freshwater mixing with seawater can theoretically release around 65 kilowatt-hours of energy, enough to power the average American home for 30 minutes. This phenomenon prompts a critical question: can salt water produce energy? The answer is a definitive yes, through several emerging technologies that exploit the chemical potential of salinity differences.
