One company in particular, Blue Rise a specialist developer of ocean thermal energy conversion, is working on a project that could completely phase out the use of fossil fuels.
Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) uses the temperature difference between cooler deep and warmer shallow or surface seawaters to run a heat engine and produce useful work, usually in the form of electricity. OTEC is a base load electricity generation system. However, since the temperature differential is small, the thermal efficiency is low, making its economic feasibility a challenge.
