Pre-feasibility Study Of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion For The Desalination Plants And Electricity In Kuwait
Abstract
This paper highlights one of the main challenges faced by modern Kuwait. Drinkable water is a major problem in Kuwait due to which the government had opted out for desalination plants. The paper explored the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) as an alternate to desalination plants for Kuwait as the desalination plants are causing economic, social and environmental concerns as well as they are not sustainable in long term. The analysis explored the impact of OTEC on environment, economy, society and the technical feasibility in terms of providing desalinated water and electricity as a sustainable source.
