FAQ
Why Ocean Energy?
Ocean energy is a vast and renewable resource that harnesses the power of the oceans through technologies such as ocean thermal, current, tidal and wave energy systems. By converting the natural movements and temperature gradients of seawater into electricity, ocean energy offers a consistent and reliable source of power. It has enormous potential to contribute to global energy needs while reducing carbon emissions, enhancing energy security, and supporting environmental sustainability. As an untapped resource, ocean energy holds the promise of delivering clean, renewable energy for generations to come.
What Are the Different Types of Ocean Energy?
- Ocean Thermal Energy: Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) generates electricity by utilising the temperature difference between warm surface water and cold deep water.
- Ocean Current Energy: Ocean current energy captures the steady movement of deep sea currents using underwater turbines to convert water flow into electricity.
- Tidal Energy: Tiday energy uses the rise and fall of tides, driven by the moon's gravitational pull, to generate electricity through underwater turbines or tidal barrages.
- Wave Energy: Wave energy harnesses the power of surface waves to produce electricity using devices like floating buoys or oscillating water columns.
- Salinity Gradient: Energy that is released when freshwater and seawater mixes.
What Do We Do?
Deep Sea Energy works with governments across the world to harness ocean energy for renewable power and clean water. Our role comprises project development and delivery, which entails the full project lifecycle – starting with exploration and site identification.
Deep Sea Energy is founded in 2024 and based in Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺.

Where Are We Pursuing Projects?
Deep Sea Energy are working on projects across the world, including Australia, Malaysia, the Pacific Islands and Philippines.
In Malaysia, we are developing 100 mW OTEC farm for electricity grid feed-in and clean water production. In Australia, we are exploring three types of ocean energy: ocean thermal, current, wave and tidal energy. We are starting with OTEC and are exploring a gW-level OTEC farm for green hydrogen production and electricity grid feed-in.
