Not every location has sufficient solar radiation (e.g. due to pervasive cloudiness) or wind energy (e.g. “Doldrums”) for these intermittent renewables. Some locations have geothermal energy resources, but other tropical coastal and island nations are not so fortunate. An alternative source of renewable energy is OTEC, taking advantage of the […]

Another concept for energy companies to consider is OTEC. Using familiar deepwater production facility technologies, Binary ORC power generation (used in waste heat and geothermal energy developments), and significant cost reductions over the past ten years, this energy solution is timely to be considered. Clean, persistent renewable energy that is […]
