Abstract
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is unique among alternate energy options in that there are a large number of valuable potential by-products from the energy generation process. The large volumes of cold deep seawater required for OTEC energy production make possible many unique applications, especially in the tropical areas where the OTEC process works. Air conditioning, fresh water production, industrial cooling, cold temperature tropical agriculture and a variety of aquaculture/mariculture products are examples currently being investigated.
The Promise of OTEC and Its By-Products is located in Hawaii, United States of America.
