日本のGX文脈において
日本でも洋上風力の導入が進む中、本論文は洋上太陽光という新技術の環境調和型導入の枠組みを示しており、日本の排他的経済水域での再生可能エネルギー拡大に示唆を与える。特に、漁業や海洋生態系との共存を図る計画手法は、日本の海洋空間計画にも応用可能。
In the global GX context
As offshore wind scales globally, this paper provides early guidance for integrating offshore solar, an emerging technology, into marine spatial planning. Its focus on environmental co-benefits and co-location strategies offers a replicable framework for regions like the Mediterranean, the North Sea, and beyond, supporting the energy transition while safeguarding marine ecosystems.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The transition to a net-zero energy system in Europe by 2050 demands a massive scale-up in renewable energy production and marine space utilization. Offshore solar, an emerging technology validated under harsh North Sea conditions, offers a promising pathway, particularly in regions like the Mediterranean that face high coastal energy demand, limited land availability, and seasonal grid stress due to tourism like Italy. This paper explores the dual opportunity of offshore solar: its potential to maximize energy generation per unit of sea surface through co-location with offshore (floating) wind, and its environmental considerations and opportunities. With the Mediterranean’s high solar irradiance, calm waters, and densely populated coastline, offshore solar is uniquely positioned to support both energy and environmental goals. Drawing from pilot project data and literature, we assess the suitability of offshore solar in Italian waters. We highlight both the environmental considerations and co-benefits, such as increased habitat complexity and potential for de facto Marine Protected Areas, and propose a set of early-stage planning principles to guide sustainable deployment. The findings support offshore solar as a viable, scalable, and environmentally responsible contributor to Europe’s energy future.
