Review


"Who would deny that we are once again in the middle of an energy/environmental/population crisis? Now, however, a critical mass of investigators employing the waters of Hawaii as their laboratory have developed the proof that ocean thermal energy and its by-productrs are an important element in a rational and environmentally sustainable solution. This important work is being recognized. Relevant pilot projects now exist in Britain and Hawaii, and developments are under serious consideration in the Cook Islands, the Marshal Islands, and the Cape Verde Islands. The entrepreneurs who have independently entered the development process will soon be joined by others. This book will be their bible." --from the Foreword by John P. Craven, former Dean of Marine Engineering, University of Hawaii.


"Avery and Wu present the scientific and engineering fundamentals of ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), showing that the technology base is sufficiently well-established for large-scale demonstration plants to be built as forerunners to commercial plants and plantships that will be economically attractive and environmentally benign."--Future Survey


"Drs. William Avery and Chih Wu have written a book that the former dean of marine engineering at the University of Hawaii declares will be the bible of entrepreneurs developing OTEC." --Energy Review


"The authors comprehensively and accurately describe, in detail, the history, concepts and technical aspects of the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) Program....a splendid reference Volume which future OTEC entrepreneurs will find most worthwhile." --Ocean Engineering


"With the knowledge set forth in Renewable Energy from the Ocean and its bilbliography, a 40-MWe seagoing pilot plant could be constructed...The authors provide extensive evidence that with experience costs of OTEC would be subatantially reduced and that ultimately production of methanol and ammonia by OTEC could be made cost-competitive." --Science
