In this first part, we present emerging offshore technologies for energy production and energy storage. Offshore fixed-bottom or floating wind energy can now be considered a mature, scalable technology and is therefore not covered in this document.
Meanwhile, wave and tidal energy, osmotic power, floating solar, large-scale offshore energy storage and other approaches are still in their early phase of development, mainly due to high costs and technical challenges related to harsh conditions at sea compared to land-based solutions.
