Large scale harvesting of renewable energy is proposed by using floating devices which use solar, wind, ocean current, and wave energy to produce compressed hydrogen by electrolysis of deep sea water. Natural ocean currents and winds are used to allow the devices to gather energy from over a large area with minimum transportation cost. The present approach uses a combination of well understood technologies in an optimized manner and at scale. Hydrogen produced in this manner would pave the way for carbon free energy economy.
