Description
This deliverable was produced within the Horizon Europe project SUREWAVE (Grant Agreement No. 101083342).
The report presents the social risk assessment of the SUREWAVE floating photovoltaic concept using social Life Cycle Assessment methodology and Social Horspot Database (SHDB). Social risks are evaluated for offshore floating photovoltaic systems deployed in representative European marine environments.
The assessment supports the evaluation of social risk performance and sustainability of floating photovoltaic technologies in comparison with conventional electricity generation systems.
