Abstract

In the view of alarming carbon emissions and impending danger to marine life, it is high time to find alternate sources of energy. Ocean thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) can be one such alternate form of energy source. In this paper, the background and future of OTEC is discussed in detail. The relevance of OTEC energy to marine applications, the advantages and challenges of this energy source is discussed exhaustively. The impact of OTEC energy on environment is also presented in this paper.
