The article proposes to using Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) to increase the energy efficiency mining of methane from deposits subaquatic gas hydrates on the gas hydrate cycle (GHET), that will allow not to spend 10-15% of the extracted methane for power supply of a gas-producing complex (GPC). The circuit-technological solution GPC is described, according to which carbon dioxide is introduced into the gas hydrate layer to extract methane from gas hydrates. To improve the kinetics of the process of replacement of methane with carbon dioxide in gas hydrates, it is proposed do recirculation part of CO2. The scheme and cycle of gas-hydrate energy-technological installation GHET are given, which operates using OTEC and generates together with electricity for GPC, fresh water and cold. Based on the method proposed in this paper, a comparative thermodynamic analysis of installations using OTEC for Black Sea conditions was performed. by GHET and Anderson cycles and it is shown that the specific useful work obtained in the GHET cycle, approximately 3 times more, and energetic efficiency 1.5 times more.
