  • Publication number: 20160156060
    Abstract: A method, system and plant for generating energy from a gas are disclosed. An embodiment of the method includes providing a gas flow to a flow channel; production of cations and anions; diffusing of the cations towards a cation-selective electrode and of the anions towards an anion-selective electrode; adsorbing the cations and anions by the electrodes; and transporting of electrons through an electrical circuit to maintain electro-neutrality of the electrodes and generate electrical energy.
