Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC)

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) utilizes the temperature difference between warm surface water and cold deep ocean water to generate electricity. This technology is best suited for tropical regions with significant temperature gradients. While still in early stages of development, OTEC has the potential to provide a continuous, baseload power supply. Challenges include the high cost of infrastructure and the environmental impact of deep-water pumping.
