That would be history ...
as 8, 500, 000 litres of mineral water for drinking could be produced per hour per MW of ocean thermal-energy conversion output, or
about 680 billion litres per year, to support the need of 10 million people.

“… 10 MW floating factory must bring a large quantity of water
up to the surface at approximately 85,000 m3/hour.”

Conference 2013
Some experimental systems, such as Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), are being developed. OTEC depends on the temperature differential between warm, surface water and the considerably cooler water of the deep ocean. The difference may be as much as 36oF (20oC). The cold, deep water is used to condense ammonia or similar liquid chemicals, which are then passed through evaporators warmed by the surface waters. The cycling of the gas through the condensation cycle is used to drive turbines that generate electricity. Although the efficiency of such systems is relatively low, alternative uses for this thermal grade include the Claude Condensator, which can be used for generating freshwater supplies in coastal areas of arid countries.

The “issue of ‘Hunger, Food
Security and Nutrition’ is closely related to the other
issues such as water and energy,
which requires comprehensive approach.”

Doctors Detect Obesity Bug on Breath
Certain gas-emitting microbes in our intestinal tract might determine our propensity for packing on pounds, leading to the presence of methane or hydrogen on one's breath.
