Investment in commercial development of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plant-ships. Final report, September 1976--August 1977
Technical Report

OSTI ID:6565205
Significant increases in energy prices can adversely affect U.S. overall standard of living and the already large deficits in our balance of payments. Of the alternatives to fossil fuels and nuclear power, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) offers the greatest promise for substantial relief. In addition to initial use of OTEC ammonia for production of fertilizers and industrial chemicals, OTEC ammonia can be used as a hydrogen carrier for production of electricity. The report recommends that OTEC/ammonia plant-ships be given high priority and substantial funding within a National Energy Plan.
