NIOT is organising an International Symposium on Advancements in Marine Renewable Energy (MRE). This symposium will bring together ocean energy leaders, decision-makers and researchers from all corners of the globe for a rich and exciting program of sessions, workshops, networking opportunities, technical lab visits and an insight into India’s rapidly evolving ocean energy activities.

About NIOT

The National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) was established in November 1993 as an autonomous society under the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Government of India. NIOT works with a mandate to develop reliable indigenous technologies to solve various engineering challenges associated with harvesting non-living and living resources in the Indian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in an environmental friendly manner. Desalination of seawater is an important mission for the institute and various floating and island-based plants utilizing ocean temperature gradient have been established, along with waste heat recovery desalination plants in coastal thermal power stations. NIOT has also developed small-scale, off-grid ocean energy devices and is now embarking on a first-ever Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) powered desalination system.
