French Polynesia, like most island territories, is highly dependent on hydrocarbon imports. In 2019, 93.8% of energy consumed in the archipelagos came from imports of various petroleum-based fuels. The renewable energy penetration rate in power generation stood at 28.78% in 2019. This figure has remained stable over the last five years.

To put this in terms of carbon emissions avoided, conventional unitary split systems running in similar hotels on neighboring islands in French Polynesia (COP around 3.5) emit some 860 Tons/year compared to the estimated 225 Tons/year emitted (approximated with the emissions factor of French Polynesia in 2019) operating the Tetiaroa SWAC.

Countries with lower shares of dietary energy from staple foods may have higher nutritional quality in their food supplies. We''ve identified the following policies and actions that might address issues with the food system of French Polynesia. Action.

In order to achieve France''s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, the French Polynesian administration has set the objective of producing 100% of the local electricity requirements from renewable energy resources. To this end, we present the wind characteristics at six selected locations in Tahiti. Surface wind observations from 2008 to 2020 obtained from
One reason for this failure to scale might be the absence of experimental data detailing energy performance of SWAC systems in real-world, commercial settings. Here is presented the performance of an existing 2.4 MW SWAC system, operated by The Brando resort on the atoll of Tetiaroa in French Polynesia.

Inaugurated in 2014, the Sea Water Air Conditioning (SWAC) system taps into the ocean''s depths to cool the resort''s structures with minimal energy consumption. Ocean water is siphoned ashore by the natural pressure of the deep sea, flowing through a titanium heat exchanger before it is returned to the ocean, causing no harm to the environment.
