Sakamaki Extraordinary Lecture: Ocean Energy

"The Poseidon Adventure: A Down-Side-Up Story of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion" with Dr. Hans Krock

The tropical ocean is the largest energy resource in the world and is available through the use of technology that has been proven in Hawai'i. Global warming has actually made this technology more efficient and the global economic crisis has made tapping this resource on a large scale inevitable.

Hans Krock is an emeritus professor of ocean and resources engineering at UH Manoa and has worked for three decades to develop a practical and economic approach to design, build and use OTEC systems to produce base-load electricity, transportation fuel, cold water air conditioning, and fresh water.

Funded in part by the Shunzo Sakamaki Extraordinary Lecture Endowment at the University of Hawai'i Foundation and the Hawai'i Energy Policy Forum's Koaniani Fund at the Hawai'i Community Foundation.
