2023, Frontiers in Energy Research

AI-generated Abstract

This editorial presents perspectives on the development and deployment of Marine Renewable Energies (MREs) in the Mediterranean region, following a prior Research Topic that focused on technological advancements. It highlights the underutilization of offshore energy resources in the area due to legislative constraints, social acceptance, and environmental concerns. The volume comprises eight research articles and one perspective article, primarily stemming from the BLUE DEAL project, addressing both technical and human factors essential for a successful energy transition. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of public participation, public awareness, and the balance between ecological protection and technological progress to drive the adoption of offshore renewables, particularly offshore wind power, which is predicted to be a key component in the region's decarbonization efforts.
