Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite submissions to this Topic on the subject of Marine Renewable Energy.
Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) is abundant, and there are large spaces in both offshore and coastal environments that can be considered for harvesting various kinds of marine energy. The effects of climate change have become obvious, and a drastic reduction in CO2 emissions represents an issue of highly increasing importance. From this perspective, the technologies currently associated with marine renewable energy extraction are very significant for achieving the expected targets in energy efficiency and environmental protection. Research into offshore wind has experienced significant success in the last decade and is expected to advance other MRE sources. On the other hand, although significant advances have been noticed in recent years, with regard to extracting marine renewable energy, there are still important challenges related to the implementation of cost-effective technologies that could survive in the harsh marine environment. From this perspective, this Topic seeks to contribute to the renewable energy agenda through enhanced scientific and multi-disciplinary works, aiming to improve knowledge and performance in harvesting ocean energy. We strongly encourage papers providing innovative technical developments, reviews, case studies, and analytics, as well as assessments and manuscripts targeting different disciplines, which are relevant to harvesting ocean energy and to the associated advances and challenges.
