Global OTEC has designed a floating platform capable of converting solar heat energy stored in the oceans into renewable baseload power.
Fossil fuels dominate across tropical islands, driving GHG emissions and socio-economic weaknesses. They lack the space - or resource - for conventional renewables such as solar, wind and hydro to provide baseload power. Their reliance on imported fuels creates volatility, trade imbalances, FX shortages and macroeconomic weakness.
Small Island EEZs represent 30% of all ocean & seas; 28 times greater than their land space. Tropical oceans absorb the solar energy-equivalent to 170bn barrels of oil per day. This can be harnessed using a well-known thermodynamic cycle.
The cycle uses the temperature difference between warm surface seawater and cold deep seawater to repeatedly evaporate and condense a working fluid. The vapour produced runs a turbine which produces electricity. GOR has designed the first cost-effective system to supply to a market with an urgent need for alternative renewables.
The power plant is contained in an innovative floating system, capable of conveying the cold and warm water, whilst also maintaining stability in the marine environment.

At Celsius Innovations, we are creating the future of personal cooling by developing cutting edge thermo-dynamic systems that can be integrated into many cooling device and technology applications.
We’re passionate about protecting your thermal wellness and doing so with sustainability at the forefront of our product.
Our first mission is to offer an efficient and affordable cooling solution for hot flushes.
Our product is a wearable cooling device that cools down the inside of your wrist. Because the wrist is one of the most thermally receptive parts of your body, applying cold to it sends a signal to the hypothalamus (the body’s thermostat), which reduces your perception of how warm it is. Our products novel, intelligent thermal management system makes this safe and proven process incredibly efficient and powerful.
