Earth Day 2018: End Plastic Pollution

A Call for Action by Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation

Lancaster, PA – April 19, 2018 – Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation (OTCQB: CPWR) (“OTE) , a project developer for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) renewable energy plants, today is issuing a call for action to combat ocean pollution in recognition of Earth Day on April 22, 2018.

Plastic Pollution is poisoning our Oceans and Land, injuring Marine Life,

and affecting our Health!

Help End Plastic Pollution by finding out how many plastic items you consume every year and make a PLEDGE to reduce the amount. Earth Day 2018 is dedicated to providing the information and inspiration needed to fundamentally change human attitude and behavior about plastics. https://www.earthday.org

Some eight million additional metric tons of trash enters Earth’s oceans every year. Much of it is single-use food containers , and it tends to collect in placid parts of the oceans known as “ the doldrums. ” Particularly prominent is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch .

as Earth Day approaches.

Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation , a Lancaster, PA-based company specializing in Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is committed to improving our environment in any way possible . Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation's OTEC technology produces clean, renewable energy and is committed to be part of the solution to the pollution scourge by advancing the development of its Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Technology.

Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation's technology is capable of producing potable water from the water it draws from the ocean for its operations — and that can counterbalance the fact that plastic pollution has long been fouling groundwater .

About OTEC and SWAC

OTEC plants generate renewable energy by “harvesting” the heat in ocean water and using that heat to warm liquids with a low boiling point (such as ammonia) so that vapor is produced. The vapor turns a turbine and generates electricity. Cold water then condenses the vapor, and the closed loop cycle continues. Supporting the efforts for more sustainable living in developing nations around the world, OTE's OTEC and SWAC technologies drastically reduce the output of carbon emissions and produce renewable energy without the use of fossil fuels. This translates to slowing down climate change and cleaning up our atmosphere for a healthier planet for all.
