The International Conference on Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Technologies is an international forum dedicated to advancing research, development, and innovation in ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) systems. The conference brings together engineers, scientists, policymakers, and industry experts to explore sustainable technologies that harness the temperature differences between warm surface seawater and cold deep seawater to generate renewable energy.
As the global demand for clean and sustainable energy continues to grow, OTEC technology offers significant potential for providing reliable, continuous power while supporting ocean-based economies. The conference focuses on technological advancements, system design, environmental considerations, and practical implementation strategies for OTEC applications.
Key topics include:
- Design and optimization of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion systems
- Thermodynamic cycles and heat exchanger technologies
- Offshore energy infrastructure and marine engineering
- Environmental impacts and sustainability assessments
- Integration of OTEC with desalination, aquaculture, and cooling systems
- Policy frameworks, economic feasibility, and commercialization strategies
Through keynote lectures, technical sessions, research presentations, and panel discussions, the conference promotes collaboration among researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers. It aims to accelerate innovation and support the development of ocean-based renewable energy solutions for a sustainable future.
