The energy generated in places where fresh water and salt water meet is known as blue energy. This is a relatively new but highly promising renewable energy source. Piotr Długołęcki of the University of Twente and the Wetsus centre of excellence for sustainable water technology has further refined the method that is most commonly used to generate blue energy in the Netherlands. This method produces three to four times as much energy as previous processes.
