..."This paper analyses the economics of using OTEC in combination with existing and potential future industries of importance to the Pacific (and other oceanic) regions, including tuna fisheries, seabed minerals and green hydrogen. The conclusions of these analyses suggest that OTEC has the potential to minimize carbon emissions, increase efficiencies, and create new high-quality green-technology industries and livelihoods." 

Historically, limited options have been available to displace liquid petroleum fuels such as kerosene, gasoline and diesel. However, recent market developments have changed this situation. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas, including compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG), are increasingly offering economical, low-emission interim solutions in the transition from liquid petroleum fuels towards renewable energy. Gas use in stationary power, trucks, cars, buses and ships is now well-established globally and technologies are commercially available. The study assesses the potential and economic feasibility of LPG, LNG or CNG to meet medium term energy needs in PICTs. It considers the end-use applications of power generation, process heating, maritime transport, land transport, cooking and water heating.

BIOMASS POWER PLANT (Renewable Energy) Project for the Biomass Energy Programme for climate change mitigation and adaptation programme constructed in NABOU, WESTERN DIVISION, FIJI 3.  GIMCO Korea Ltd and the Korean Development Bank, and the Green Climate Fund. The plant is operated by the Nabou Green Energy Ltd since 2017.  It produces 12MW that can cover 40,000 households, uses Wood Chip supplied locally as fuel and is estimated to have create 200 jobs and to operate for 25 years.

This review represents an analysis of literature addressing the predicted and potential impacts of mining deep sea nodules in the Southwest, Central, and Northeast Pacific. More than 250 scientific and other articles were examined to explore what is known — and what remains unknown — about the risks of nodule mining to Pacific Ocean habitats, species, ecosystems and the people who rely on them.
