This review aims to establish a foundation for developing innovative approaches to sustainably harness multi-energy sources in offshore environments. It leverages existing technological expertise while exploring new solutions to address specific challenges associated with FMEIs. The review initially presents existing technologies for floating energy structures and assesses their applicability to FMEI. The structural materials that could be utilised for the construction of a floating energy island are subsequently reviewed. Next, the offshore construction technologies suitable for FMEI are reviewed. Finally, studies on the life cycle assessment of hybrid energy systems are examined, highlighting the environmental advantages of integrating multiple renewable energy sources, thereby underscoring the potential of FMEIs.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Offshore renewable energies: exploring floating modular energy islands-materials, construction technologies, and life cycle assessment","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-10-05 01:50:03.718606","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"AuthorKeywords":"Offshore;Renewable energy;Floating energy islands;Materials;Construction techniques;lca;assessment lca;wind farms;design;system;optimization;feasibility;performance;converter;capture;cost","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2025,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2026-09-28","DateCreate":"2026-09-28","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:001506403800001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1007/s40722-025-00403-y"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":449261,"PubliDate":2025,"Pagination":"1157-1182","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"11","Issue":"4","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":345502,"SerRR":"Journal of Ocean Engineering and Marine Energy.
