<title>Waste water to clean energy: Japanese engineers harness the power of osmosis</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Fukuoka, Japan (AFP) April 3, 2026


 A Japanese water plant is harnessing the natural process of osmosis to generate renewable energy that could one day become a common power source. 

The possibility of generating power from osmosis - when water molecules pass from a less salty solution to a more salty one - has long been known. 

But actually generating energy from that has proved more complicated, in part due the difficult ]]></description>

 Nearly 60 nations hailed progress in the fight to exit fossil fuels as a breakaway conference wrapped up in Colombia on Wednesday - but now face the harder work of turning words into action. 

Ministers and envoys gathered in the coal port of Santa Marta in the hope of speeding the shift away from planet-heating fossil fuels and breaking a stalemate at the UN climate talks.
