Exploring the potential of reverse electrodialysis power plants in shaping our future energy landscape: Examining current barriers that hinder an upscaling."^^ . "This thesis examines the potential of osmotic energy as a sustainable and innovative \r\nrenewable energy source while addressing the main research question: \r\nWhich current barriers to osmotic energy, while focusing on reverse electrodialysis (RED), can \r\nbe identified from a holistic planning perspective that could hinder an upscaling process, \r\nespecially in the context of the Netherlands?\r\nA strong focus on RED power plants as a case study and in the spatial context of the \r\nNetherlands is fundamental to this thesis. Drawing upon insights from literature, documents,\r\nand interviews, it identifies various facets of osmotic energy's diffusion, based on the insights \r\nfrom Innovation Diffusion Theory. It explores in this frame its relative advantages, compatibility \r\nwith sociocultural factors, complexity, trialability, and observability.\r\nWhile acknowledging its benefits, such as environmental benefits, reliability, infrastructure \r\ncompatibility, and public acceptability, the thesis balances these aspects against identified key \r\nbarriers to the upscaling of osmotic energy on multiple levels, including substantial funding \r\nrequirements, economic considerations, regulatory complexities, potential water resource \r\nconflicts, diverging interests, limited political awareness, and the necessity of becoming \r\ncompetitive in the renewable energy market.\r\nBased on that, this thesis provides valuable insights from a holistic planning perspective into \r\ncurrent barriers in the upscaling process, while offering an up-to-date and holistic perspective \r\nfor policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders in the renewable energy sector."^^ .
