It is environmental madness to burn hydrocarbons when we are being slow-cooked by all the heat in the oceans resulting from global warming. Zero E’s Ocean Heat Pump turns this heat into an energy asset—every country with an ocean shore now has massive reserves of energy and achieve energy independence. Zero E Technologies, Inc. is developing the Ocean Heat Pump (OHP) that will float offshore and that will extract heat from the sea. It is actually a big wind turbine that powers heat pumps that extract heat from the sea through large underwater heat exchangers. This heat is then used to melt thermal salt in big containers (the energy is stored through phase change) which is then moved by barge to district heat and cooling systems, desalination plants, or electric power plants where the heat is extracted. As the heat is extracted, the thermal salt solidifies. Then the barge of salt containers returns for more heat, repeating the process.
