A marine renewable energy
for tropical areas
■ DCNS develops an environment-friendly
power generation system, based on tropical
seas’ thermal gradients.
■ OTEC is a tailor-made solution offering a
24/7 base-load and CO2-free renewable energy.
A MADE-TO-MEASURE
DEVELOPMENT TO MEET
ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES
IN TROPICAL AREAS
■ OTEC is both a cutting-edge technology and
a turnkey solution, allowing tropical areas in
becoming energy self-sufficient.
UNLIMITED NATURAL
OCEAN THERMAL RESOURCES
IN TROPICAL SEAS
■ This innovative technology is a green
alternative to fossils energies, such as gas,
petrol or coal.

Ocean thermal energy
conversion uses tropical
seas temperature gradient
of 20 °C, existing naturally
between sea surface water
about 25 °C and cold deep
water (–1,000 m) about 5 °C
to produce electricity.
