Introduction
iGEM Groningen 2015 wants to harness the energy of salinity, often called ‘Blue Energy’. The biggest problem with the current Blue Energy technology lies in the membranes (a kind of filters) that are used. They are expensive and unreliable. We want to use bacteria to create a living membrane that can repair itself.
Sidenote
Wetsus, a Dutch Institute for Water Technology Research is constructing a blue energy test plant at the afsluitdijk, where the fresh water of the Ijsselmeer and the salt water of the Waddenzee are easily combined. Blue energy has no waste products. It is estimated that it could supply 7% of the world energy need.
