Ocean thermal energy: the Principality''s blue gold

There are now more than 80 seawater heat pumps throughout Monaco. Among the most iconic are those at Grimaldi Forum, the Oceanographic Museum, the Rainier III Auditorium and SBM''s hotels and restaurants. These two new ocean thermal energy loops will enable a large number of buildings to benefit from this ''clean'' energy source.
