I wish to share some insight on ocean thermal energy conversion OTEC, that is a renewable energy form where a heat conversion process takes place between the ocean surface that is exposed to the sun and the cold temperatures of the ocean depth. This type of renewable energy could be more economically viable in areas surrounding deep seas and oceans as well as tropical regions.

Programmes that will provide in-depth knowledge on the importance of renewable energy resources and their impact on a nation s economy and the environment are currently being integrated into the curriculum in leading universities in UAE.

Additionally, in UAE students are being acquainted with cutting edge technologies in the field of energy such as hydrogen energy production, storage and utilisation through fuel cells, carbon sequestration technology, energy efficiency optimisation, energy management and auditing among other areas.
