Abstract
The climate change effects become more visible in the last decades. Despite some opinions related to the cyclic evolution of the climate it looks more probable that this dynamics is driven in a significant way by the human activities and especially by the high industrial development of the recent years. Since the energy sector is responsible for more than 75% of the greenhouse gas emissions, in order to prevent an acceleration of the climate change, a special attention should be paid to enhance substantially the transition to the green energy. From this perspective, according to the European Green Deal the most challenging direction is related to marine renewable energy being targeted for the European Union a more than 3000 times enhancement of the operational capacity by 2050 in relationship with 2021. In order to achieve such a very ambitious target, large geographical deployments of the marine energy farms are expected in the European nearshore. In this context, the objective of the present work is to present some studies concerning the expected nearshore impact of the marine energy farms in various coastal areas, together with a computational platform that facilitates these evaluations.
