Abstract
The Navy views Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) technology as a potentially viable means to reduce dependence on fossil fuel and associated release of greenhouse emissions at Navy bases located in tropical areas, including Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia and facilities in Hawaii and Guam. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) OTEC Program is structured to advance commercialization and promote future development of OTEC technology for Navy applications.
