๐บ๐ธ๐ฏ๐ต In the 1970s and 1980s, the U.S. and Japan pushed OTEC research forward. In 1979, the โMini OTECโ project in Hawaii proved the potential of the technology by generating 15 kW of net power on a U.S. Navy barge. A big step toward todayโs renewable future! ๐โก

โก In 1930, George Claude, a student of Jacques dโArsonval, built the worldโs first OTEC plant in Cuba. Though a storm destroyed it, this pioneering step marked the beginning of real-world ocean energy experiments. ๐๐ก

๐ Did you know that Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) isnโt a new idea? The concept dates back to the 19th century, with early inspiration even found in Jules Verneโs 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea!
