Recent OTEC News

Reignwood Group and Lockheed Martin sign Memorandum of Agreement in May 2013 to develop 10 MW floating OTEC Plant to power new resort on Hainan Island

Japanese Energy Consumption

1 Exajoule = 1018 Joules
= 293 TWh
Total energy consumed 16

Transport is 25%
Household is 25%
Industry is 50%
Total Energy is 16 x 293 TWh

= 4,688 TWh/yr

Cost to Import Energy (T Yen)
Oil = $ 15.1
Coal = $ 1.9
LNG = $ 6.6
Total =$ 23.6

SLIDE 4

Energy Consumption by Fuel Type

I GW OTE = 8 TWh/yr
Oil = 264 OTE Plants
Coal = 129 OTE Plants
Natural Gas = 100 OTE Plants
Total Number of OTE Plants

needed to replace all these fuels is 492

Assume each plant is $6B USD
500 Plants x $6B = $3T USD
Tens of Millions of jobs
Ammonia infrastructure
Transport ships
Eliminates about 1.1 GMt/yr
f CO2 from the atmosphere

2. Introduction to Major Japanese Shipbuilders

– Kawasaki Heavy Industries – Mitsubishi Heavy Industries – Sumitomo Heavy Industries – Others

3. Catalyst to Engage Other Pacific Rim Nations

– Spread the risk, financing and work – Plenty of ocean and opportunities for everyone – Work together and avoid another Petroleum War
