is stored in the upper layers of deep oceans across the equatorial regions. The heat contained therein could be extracted and converted into electric power, or if not, hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen will be fast becoming the most dominant energy carrier by the middle of this 21st Century. Other energy carriers including electricity, oil, natural gas, and coal will be less significant. In Malaysia, it has been established that ocean thermal energy has the potential capacity over 22,000 MW. Such potential has been realised in Kumejima, Okinawa, Japan; and in Hawaii, USA. The Korean Research Institute of Shipping and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) has just commissioned, in late September 2019, a 1-MW Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plant which will be installed in Kiribati. A 10-MW OTEC plant has been designed for the Martinique Territory of France in the Caribbean. In short, OTEC technology, considered one of the 21 most impactful emerging technologies in this Century, is the only energy conversion technology that generates, not only competitive pricing of energy, but also highly beneficial mineral water and high value marine produce, sea foods, and marine products.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\">\n<p style=\"text-align: right\">Prof. Dato\u2019 Ir.
