Introduction of Blue Energy in the Mediterranean: The Conceptualization of the Sea as “Space” and Emerging Opportunities for Greece and Mediterranean Countries

Abstract: When we think of the term "space," we tend to imagine an onshore area with certain features, such as borders, governing laws and regulations, land uses, geomorphology, materials, and substance. Seldom, however, we will think of the sea as space, despite the fact that it has all the aforementioned characteristics: it covers a certain area, it has specific features and serves different operations. For Mediterranean countries like Greece, the sea has always been a core element of their identity in both geographic… Show more

“…[30,32] When it comes to marine applications, the issues range from more conventional complications related to bacterial accumulation (and their derived effects) on ships and offshore platforms to more recent problems associated with the increasing field of blue energy technologies. [33] Blue energy comprises all technologies able to harvest renewable energy in oceans, from the well-established offshore wind to emerging technologies such as wave, tidal, current, ocean thermal, osmotic power, biomass production from algae and microbial fuel cells. [34][35][36] In these scenarios, the biofouling effect represents one of the main constraints affecting the overall system performance for energy generation in marine environments.…”
