Open-source decision intelligence for ocean infrastructure development.
The ocean contains one of the largest untapped infrastructure opportunities of the 21st century.
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), Seawater Air Conditioning (SWAC), desalination, deep-ocean cooling, offshore AI datacenters, and other blue economy infrastructure all face the same challenge:
making investment and development decisions under uncertainty.
Ocean Infrastructure Intelligence Platform (OIIP) exists to reduce that uncertainty.
OIIP transforms oceanographic, climate, economic, infrastructure, and policy data into actionable project intelligence.
The platform is designed to answer a single question:
Should this infrastructure project move forward?
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is one of the few renewable technologies capable of providing:
- Renewable Baseload Power (24/7)
- Energy Security
- Reduced Fuel Imports
- Freshwater Production
- Deep Ocean Cooling
- Climate Resilience
Despite more than a century of research, OTEC projects still face significant barriers:
- Expensive pre-feasibility studies
- Fragmented datasets
- Limited operational experience
- High perceived investment risk
- Complex multidisciplinary analysis
OIIP is designed to reduce these barriers by providing a standardized project intelligence workflow.
Ocean infrastructure projects require extensive investigation before stakeholders can decide whether further investment is justified.
Developers often spend months collecting and analyzing data before determining whether a project is technically and economically viable.
For many Small Island Developing States (SIDS), this challenge is amplified by:
- High electricity costs
- Dependence on imported fuels
- Limited freshwater resources
- Climate vulnerability
- Infrastructure financing constraints
As a result, many promising projects never advance beyond the concept stage.
OIIP provides a unified project screening and intelligence platform.
Instead of manually collecting datasets from multiple sources, users submit coordinates and receive a structured project assessment.
The platform evaluates:
- Ocean Resource Potential
- Climate Resilience
- Economic Viability
- Infrastructure Readiness
- Policy Readiness
- Nexus Opportunities
- Bankability
and transforms these assessments into decision-ready outputs.
OIIP does not produce maps.
OIIP does not produce datasets.
OIIP produces project intelligence.
For any candidate location, OIIP generates:
- Project Intelligence Score
- Resource Assessment
- Climate Assessment
- Economic Assessment
- Infrastructure Assessment
- Policy Assessment
- Nexus Assessment
- Bankability Assessment
- Project Intelligence Report
The platform is designed to support early-stage project development and investment decisions.

Version 1 focuses on a single capability:
If I build an OTEC project at these coordinates, is this a reasonable idea?
The MVP implements:
- Resource Assessment
- Climate Assessment
- Economic Assessment
- Project Intelligence Score
- Project Intelligence Report
Everything else builds on top of this foundation.
OIIP aims to become the leading open-source intelligence platform for:
- Ocean Energy Development
- Blue Economy Infrastructure
- AI Datacenter Planning
- Climate-Resilient Infrastructure
- Sustainable Ocean Development
The long-term objective is to reduce the ocean infrastructure pre-feasibility cycle from months to minutes.
OIIP is developed as an open-source platform to accelerate sustainable infrastructure development, particularly in coastal regions and Small Island Developing States.
The project welcomes contributions from:
- Ocean Engineers
- Energy Experts
- Climate Scientists
- Infrastructure Developers
- Economists
- Software Engineers
- Researchers
Maps are not the product.
Datasets are not the product.
Project intelligence is the product.
OIIP exists to help governments, developers, investors, utilities, and development banks answer one question:
Should this infrastructure project move forward?
