Our Goal
An OTEC Plant on a Tanker Offers a Green Solution
Where deep ocean cold water is found near tropical shores,
an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) desalinization
plant may provide copious quantities of potable water and
other products to make the plant economically self supporting.
An OTEC plant may produce electrical power, mechanical steam
power, potable water, refrigeration, aquaculture and industrial gases
from the water with power extracted from the temperature differential between
tropical surface and deep ocean seawater.
It may power itself without outside fuel costs, needing only crew support
for continued operation.
An OTEC plant mounted on a ship economizes on the input side by eliminating expensive and vulnerable shore facilities while economizing on the output side to provide
deliverable goods with the most economical transportation.
