Abstract

The Center for Ocean Energy Technology (COET) at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is a timely State of Florida initiative for the research and development of ocean current and ocean thermal energy technologies. The Center is a synergistic partnership among academic, industry, and government organizations focused on developing knowledge, understanding, infrastructure, technology, and policy towards a low-environmental-impact extraction of ocean energy. The Center is a hub that bridges the gap between concept and commercial implementation by fostering the research, design, development, implementation, testing, and commercialization of cutting-edge, clean, and innovative ocean energy technology. It brings together a broad range of unique, enabling, and accessible expertise and physical assets.
