HOW DOES IT WORK?
THE OSMOTIC POWER CONCEPT
SEA LEVEL OSMOTIC POWER PLANT
INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITY Potential of 16 - 1700 TWh, of which 180 in Europe Estimated break - even 50-100 €/MWh The membrane is key to the commercial utilization
APPROACHING THE GOAL FOR RES IN EUROPE 34% renewable electricity by 2020 necessary 600 TWh new renewable capacity available within 90 EUR/MWh Scenarios with power pricing between 80 – 100 EUR/MWh A European cost curve for renewable power EU 25 + Norway 180 160 34% RES-E 34% RES-E 34% target based on 20 % based on 20 % 140 based on higher power lower power expected power demand demand 120 demand 100 €/Mwh 100 €/M W h 90 €/Mwh 80 €/Mwh 80 60 40 20 0 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 TWh/a

PROTOTYPE SITE LOCATION page 14 OSMOTIC POWER
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 Osmotic Power membranes in cooperation with industry and science page 15 OSMOTIC POWER
