Research abstract
Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT) proposes a novel methane harvesting system to utilize the sea floor cold seeps to extend the endurance of undersea activities. The technology aims to collect and convert abundant chemical energy in the methane seeps into electricity. The proposed technology has effective thermal and chemical integrated design to minimize the size and weight requirement. In addition, the proposed collector design is able to avoid the fouling issue during the collecting process for a wide depth range. The system proposed by ACT is self-sustained and able to provide kilowatt-scale electrical output for 2 years without any maintenance and logistic requirement.
