Periodic Reporting for period 1 - MARINEWIND (Market Uptake Measures of Floating Offshore Wind Technology Systems (FOWTs))
Período documentado: 2022-11-01 hasta 2024-04-30
MARINEWIND is a 36 months coordination and support action that will identify bottlenecks and potential opportunities to strengthen floating offshore wind'stechnologyFOWT role in delivering innovative solutions to system integration and will consider how best to integrate such a system by exploring the market, policy and regulations issues, social, financial and techno-economic optimal solutions, and provision for storage and flexibility recommendations. The MARINEWIND methodology is based on the analysis of the MARINEWIND Labs, which are social, environmental, technological, and financial pilot studies based upon a multi-faceted data collection and analysis on barriers and enablers related to:
a) policy measures (WP1); b) societal engagement and environmental impact (WP2); c) financial solutions, techno-economic implications, and commercialization of FOWT (WP3). The MARINEWIND Labs are located in five countries:
Portugal and the UK (actual applications of FOWT) and Greece, Spain, and Italy (planned applications of FOWT). These Labs will support the transfer of knowledge from the established experiences to the potential FOWT sites where plans for the installation of FOWT are still at various stages of planning or implementation. The MARINEWIND Labs will involve the Quintuple Helix stakeholders(industry, academia, public authorities, civil society, and green innovation). The threefold analysis will be conveyed into the MARINEWIND web-based Geographical Information System (webGIS) which will provide specifically tailored information on FOWT to the various stakeholders on the basis of their category, geographical location, and their goals and policy recommendations on how to have more informed RES policy and how to increase societal acceptance (WP4). The Replicability Plan will support the transfer of knowledge. Dissemination, Communication, and Exploitation activities (WP5) will assure widespread outreach of the project’s results and outcomes and to reach its impacts.
The ultimate ambition of MARINEWIND is to support the investment of both private sectors and public authorities in FOWT while accelerating their commercialization and identifying critical environmental, and societal support and solutions to techno-economic barriers to their wide deployment.
The objectives and impacts of the MARINEWIND project will assist and support the European Commission to meet the EU's goal of climate neutrality by 2050 via the implementation of the EU Strategy on Offshore Renewable Energy. The MARINEWIND project will contribute to generating substantial investments in FOWT by a) facilitating the exchange of knowledge in terms of methodology b) providing expert advice on how to cut down deployment times and accelerate time to market c) contributing to lower market barriers and increasing societal acceptance, facilitating the interaction with other sea users such as fisheries or maritime traffic d) providing insights on how to minimize the environmental impact.

The MARINEWIND project supports investment in and commercialization of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT) by both the private sector and public authorities. To facilitate the exchange of knowledge, MARINEWIND has conducted nine co-creation workshops involving 486 stakeholders to identify technical, financial, and regulatory challenges, with a focus on innovative technologies and maritime spatial planning. The MARINEWIND WebGIS tool is being developed to offer comprehensive data and insights, on a geographic basis, into FOWT deployment, aiding policymakers and stakeholders in making informed decisions. Additionally, scheduled webinars for policymakers and public authorities are disseminating knowledge effectively, further enhancing this exchange. To accelerate FOWT deployment and reduce market barriers, MARINEWIND is providing expert advice through various analyses and recommendations. The project’s analysis of policy and regulatory barriers has identified key challenges and enablers, helping streamline processes and reduce deployment times. Financial, market and techno-economic analyses have explored barriers, potential solutions, and financial mechanisms to reduce the time deployment of FOWT and reduce market barriers. The project has provided recommendations and best practices from successful projects to guide efficient deployment strategies which are being disseminated via the project’s activities. To improve societal acceptance MARINEWIND partners have engaged with local communities, fisheries, and maritime traffic stakeholders through interviews and surveys to help address societal concerns and promote acceptance of FOWT projects, performing social analysis to analyse public perception and environmental impacts, enhancing societal acceptance, and the public acceptance Action Plan being developed will address public acceptance issues and remove non-technological barriers, fostering a supportive environment for FOWT development. To minimize the environmental impact of FOWT, MARINEWIND has conducted environmental studies and integrated FOWT deployment with marine ecosystems, providing insights into environmental barriers and enablers. MARINEWIND has also explored advanced technological solutions, such as shared mooring points, to reduce the environmental footprint of FOWTs and lessen the cumulative impacts of full-scale wind power installations.
MARINEWIND is promoting the sustainable exploitation of the main results through the development of a strategic exploitation plan. This plan is identifying key exploitable results, assessing their market readiness, and implementing protection measures to advance commercialization.
