Hydrothermal Energy Potential in Jamaica

According to Silbert Barrett, a Sustainable Strategist at Brittenwoods International, a Trans-Caribbean Hydrothermal Power Plant could generate 52 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030.

Accessing the super-heated undersea hydrothermal vents that are located between Jamaica and the Cayman Islands in the Mid-Cayman Trough, would take approximately $140 billion dollars and 450,000 workers.

If successfully completed, the project could potentially offset 228 million tons of carbon dioxide.
