Summary
Facing global challenges of climate change, fragile energy security, and ocean degradation, the blue economy (sustainable ocean-based development) and marine renewable energy (tidal, wave, offshore wind—holding 80% of global renewable potential) have become key to solutions. Unlike land-limited terrestrial renewables, marine energy offers scalable, low-carbon power, but its integration with marine resources (fisheries, conservation) remains siloed. Critical gaps—technical barriers (high deployment costs, grid integration issues), inconsistent ocean-use policies, and weak interdisciplinary collaboration—slow progress, undermining both marine energy adoption and blue growth (inclusive ocean development).
The aim and scope of the Special Issue shall be highlighted.
Marine energy tech: Advancements in tidal/wave/OTEC/offshore wind systems, plus grid integration and cost reduction.
Sustainability/resilience: Ecological impact mitigation, climate adaptation via marine energy, and social equity/acceptance.
Policy/economics: Regulatory reforms, financing models, and international collaboration for scaling marine energy.
Interdisciplinary alignment: Cross-field research methods and links to global/regional blue economy strategies.
Suggested themes shall be listed.
· Marine Renewable Energy Tech Innovation: Advancements in tidal/wave/OTEC/offshore wind systems, plus technical optimization (durability, cost-cutting) and grid integration.
· Blue Economy Sector Integration: Multi-use platforms (e.g., wind + aquaculture), community energy solutions, and circular economy practices for marine energy.
· Sustainability & Resilience: Ecological impact mitigation, climate adaptation via marine energy, and social equity/community benefit-sharing.
