Dan Grech

Dan Grech founded Global OTEC to advance offshore renewable power solutions for island infrastructure and oil and gas applications. Since 2017, he has built and managed multidisciplinary teams developing ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) and organic rankine cycle (ORC) systems from early concept through detailed engineering. His work includes progressing the OTEC Power Module designs.

He has secured industrial collaborations with turbine and heat-exchanger manufacturers, and operator-driven studies to benchmark OTEC against subsea tiebacks and offshore electrification options.

Grech is co-author of “Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC)” in Comprehensive Renewable Energy (Second Edition) (Elsevier, 2021), a reference text on renewable energy technologies. He also has led international collaborations and funding rounds that established Global OTEC as a technical reference point for scalable offshore clean energy.
