Review Description

The necessity of renewables is increasing day by day due to increasing energy demand. Therefore, novel approaches and methods for producing electricity in an environmentally friendly manner are valuable and critical. The seas have enormous potential in terms of wind, waves, solar, and hydrogen systems. The study presents the investigation of the potential dynamics for energy island formation on Türkiye borders. Also, targets, legislation, and environmental and social concerns are discussed comprehensively. Results show that offshore wind and hydrogen are promising systems shortly while solar and wave energy needs more research for Türkiye. The Marmara and Aegean Seas are considered technically feasible for offshore wind installations, while the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas have the highest technical solar potential. In addition, the highest wave power is detected along the line from İzmir to Antalya Coast while hydrogen energy systems receive great interest with academic and industrial projects in the Marmara Coastline. Profiting from marine energy, marine spatial planning, and grid availability are detected as the shortcoming issues in Türkiye. The study could give critical information to energy planners, and decision makers for potential projects.
