What is OTEC?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for information about OTEC, which stands for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion. This process involves generating energy from the temperature difference between warm surface seawater and cold deep seawater. The user is looking for a clear explanation of this concept.

Answer

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) utilizes the temperature differential between warm surface and cold deep ocean waters to generate electricity.

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a technology for generating renewable energy that uses the temperature differential between the deep cold and relatively warmer surface waters of the ocean to generate baseload electricity.

Answer for screen readers

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a technology for generating renewable energy that uses the temperature differential between the deep cold and relatively warmer surface waters of the ocean to generate baseload electricity.

More Information

OTEC is a renewable energy source that can provide continuous, baseload electricity because of the constant temperature gradient in oceans.
