Analysis of social and environmental barriers and enablers

Deliverable D2.1 Analysis of Social and Environmental Barriers and Enablers will be produced within the objective of Task 2.2 Elaboration of results of social and environmental analysis, with the previous Task 2.1 Analysis of Social and Environmental Barriers and Enablers and its subtasks 2.1.1 Analysis of Social Barriers and Enablers, 2.1.2 Analysis of Environmental Barriers and 2.1.3 Identification of Conflict Management Solutions of Work Package 2 related to the socio-economic and environmental part of the MARINEWIND project. The aim of this deliverable is to collect existing information, both from the literature and from real-life testimonies (through laboratories, interviews, and surveys) and to identify these socio-economic and environmental barriers and enablers. This information will be used to identify barriers and enablers to the deployment of floating offshore wind while taking inspiration from lessons learnt in contexts such as fixed offshore wind technology and other renewable energy sources. In doing so, we will be able to identify the enablers which support successful deployment, drawing on the experience of existing FOW (Floating Offshore Wind) farms.
