Ocean thermal gradient and OTEC and salinity power

Energy flows from ocean thermal gradient to OTEC and salinity power.

Ocean thermal gradient (energy) and OTEC and salinity power (energy): 1 relationship.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · 100% of flow · Ocean thermal gradient → OTEC and salinity power

Warm surface water and cold deep water run a heat engine.

  • 100% of Ocean thermal gradient's energy goes this way

Built from the site data on production routes, energy flows, industry value chains, input-output tables and prices.
