Pertimbangan Lingkungan pada Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energi Conversion)

Abstract

Indonesia, which has the largest population among ASEAN countries, so
it will become net oil imports at the beginning of the 21st century. The
Indonesian government has developed a long-term energy plan that aims
to diversify energy to reduce the country's dependence on oil. One
renewable energy source is utilizing differences in sea surface
temperature, solar energy that creates this gradient and specifically
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) Ammonia is formed by a
catalytic combination of 3 moles of hydrogen with 1 mole of nitrogen at
high pressure and medium temperature with an iron oxide catalyst. the
environmental impact of a closed cycle OTEC can be understood. The
following have been identified as potentially significant: release of fluids
or biocides that work in the atmosphere, impacts on threatened or
endangered terrestrial or marine species, etc. Because of its irritation,
these pollutants can stimulate the inflammatory process in the upper
respiratory tract, which is the channel of exposure from the nose to the
throat
