The NAVFAC Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) Project



16 April 2009

Introduction. The NAVFAC Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) Project is a multi-phased project structured to support commercialization and future acquisition of energy from OTEC systems at Diego Garcia and other Navy locations.
As part of this effort, the Navy intends to conduct a one-day Industry Forum and request input relative to level of interest in development, technology risk mitigation and commercialization for OTEC Technology.

Project overall objective. The overall objective of the NAVFAC OTEC Project is to facilitate the commercialization of the technology so as to be able to obtain electric and potable water utilities from a mature OTEC system at a long-term cost effective rate. Chilled water for seawater air conditioning may also be an option if cost effective.

Project Goal. The NAVFAC OTEC Project near-term goal is to reduce overall OTEC system developmental risks and shorten the path to full commercialization.
