Offshore wind is nowadays already well developed in the North European countries. 99 % of the offshore wind turbines are installed on fixed foundations in shallow waters. For areas with water depth greater than 50 m, a floating wind turbine is the suitable technology.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This technology is in the advanced demonstration phase but is going to reach the commercial phase in a few years, thus disclosing the potential of all marine areas with deep waters close to the coast, including the Mediterranean basin. One of the main challenges for floating offshore wind deployment in this area is the achievement of the economic feasibility of the offshore wind initiative.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The offshore wind resource in the Mediterranean is generally lower than the one in the North Sea and Oceans and the cost of offshore wind plants (in particular the floating ones) is higher than the present offshore wind parks because this industrial sector has not yet started in the Mediterranean countries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, in the Mediterranean area the potential of offshore wind to contribute to the decarbonization pathway and the decrease in the dependence on external fuel supply is very great and many studies, analyzed in this article, have already performed a technical-economic assessment of offshore wind farms in different countries and geographical areas in the basin.<\/p>\n

The results of these studies and the content of this article could help decision-makers and stakeholders to better understand the characteristics of this promising sector and accelerate its development.<\/p>\n","scarica_file":false,"link_estreno":[{"link_text":"Download Publication","link":"https:\/\/wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/wene.533"}],"button":{"text":"","link":""},"referente_group":false,"data_emissione":"2024-07-02","autori":"L.
