Don: The Legacy and Future of OTEC
In the special video below, we honour the legacy of OTEC while developing a solution for the technology in storm-prone regions. Our prototype was named Don, after Don Lennard, a British aircraft engineer and Royal Navy veteran, who dedicated his life to advancing OTEC technology. His passion and expertise in marine technology have been pivotal in the ongoing development of clean energy solutions. Watch the video to learn more!
