Hydrogen production with the use of Solar Assisted Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion in the Mediterranean Sea
Funded under the Clean Energy Transition Partnership call
Aims and Objectives of the HydrOTEC Project
The overall aim is to promote and establish the OTEC technology as a reliable solution towards green hydrogen production for small-scale coastal application in the Mediterranean Sea
Research and development of computational model for the proposed solar thermal energy assisted OTEC system
Research on the technical options related to thermal solar energy
use of the solar thermal energy as a supplement energy with the OTEC system
Research on hydrogen production systems through computational investigation
Propose solutions in relation to Hydrogen Storage Systems (HSS) and their integration with the proposed hybrid system
Environmental impact of the individual systems and the proposed hybrid system
Assessment of the performance of the OTEC system and the proposed hybrid system for green hydrogen production
with a small scale experimental set-up
Identification of the potential optimization and viability of an upscale solution to industrial/commercial scale
