The HydrOTEC project with Project Coordinator Professor Toula Onoufriou (CUT), Scientific Coordinator Dr Paul Christodoulides (CUT) and Technical Manager Dr Constantine Michailides (IHU), is a three-year project, with December 2023 start date, and a budget of approximately 1 million EUR. The project is co-financed by the Clean Energy Transition Partnership call (CETP) and national funding agencies; Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF) for Cyprus, General Secretariat for Research and Innovation (GSRI) for Greece, and Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) for Spain.
The general aim of the project is to develop a hybrid system promoting and establishing the OTEC technology augmented with solar energy as a reliable solution towards green hydrogen production for small-scale coastal application in the Mediterranean Sea. The proposed hybrid system is aimed at contributing to the larger family of green hydrogen production, by providing an alternative greener path of reliable energy production.
The HydrOTEC project interdisciplinary consortium consists of two research institutes, two SMEs and one LE (large enterprise); from Cyprus: Cyprus University of Technology (coordinating organization), Lumoscribe Ltd (SME), and M.M. Makronisos Marina Ltd (LE); from Greece: International Hellenic University (IHU); from Spain: EnerBasque (SME).
