Question

What do you mean by Ocean thermal energy ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a process or technology for producing energy by harnessing the temperature differences (thermal gradients) between ocean surface waters and deep ocean waters. ... This temperature difference can be used to produce electricity and to desalinate ocean water.

Answer 2

Answer:

The water at the surface of an ocean gets heated by the heat of the sun and attains a higher temperature than the colder water at deeper levels in the ocean. The energy available due to the difference in the temperature of water at the surface of the ocean and at deeper levels is called ocean thermal energy (OTE).
