Projected Costs for Electricity and Products from OTEC Facilities and Plantships

Projected Costs for Electricity and Products from OTEC Facilities and Plantships

The vast ocean thermal resource of the tropics can be used to serve all areas of the U.S. through the production at sea of fuels or energy-intensive products that can be transported to market by ship. Addressed are ammonia, liquid hydrogen, methanol, and liquid methane, which could be sold as fuels...

Zusammenfassung:The vast ocean thermal resource of the tropics can be used to serve all areas of the U.S. through the production at sea of fuels or energy-intensive products that can be transported to market by ship. Addressed are ammonia, liquid hydrogen, methanol, and liquid methane, which could be sold as fuels or chemicals or used as hydrogen sources for onshore fuel-cell power systems. Estimated costs of their production on 325-MWe ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) plantships and their delivery to U.S. ports and inland cites are presented. 16 refs.
