Spring 2023 European Energy Innovation
ENERGY ISLANDS 37

MODENERLANDS revisits safe,
smart, modular, cost-effective and
socially valuable high-performance
sustainable Energy Islands for
consideration in the plans, design
and development of the future
sustainable energy infrastructure.
This concept works with modularised
construction of offshore floating
platforms, aiming at easily extending
their size and capacity according to
future energy needs.

The Modular Energy Island will act
as a platform to maximise collection
and conversion of the renewable
energy sources and efficiently transfer
them to the network, exploring
cutting-edge Green Hydrogen related
technologies for efficient energy
storage and transportation.

This collaborative team of
researchers will develop a European-
based scientific and technological
network with strong multi-/
interdisciplinary features that will
work on the exploitation of the capacities on Sustainable Energy short-term and long-term challenges
