Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) uses the natural temperature difference in tropical oceans to produce clean and predictable electricity. Its estimated global market size in 2023 is between 0.6 and 6 Billion Euros. OTEC’s main challenge is manufacturing, deploying, and operating a 4m diameter, 1000m long seawater intake pipe, connected to a floating st… [more]

The maritime sector is facing a major challenge. Whilst a globally growing economy leads to greater demand for the transport of goods, the goals from the Paris Climate Agreement and the subsequent agreement of the IMO requires a 50% reduction of CO2-emissions from maritime transport by 2050 compared to the level of 2008. Several stakeholders (including polic… [more]
