Article Citation - Scopus: 1Transforming Crete's Sustainable Energy Landscape: a Modular Energy Island Approach(Wiley, 2025) Mendez-Morales, Mariela; Karipoglu, Fatih; Ivankovic, Marin; Lukic, Tamara; Rebelo, CarlosThe present paper investigates the conceptual design of a floating offshore renewable energy system-an energy island-developed to provide a sustainable long-term solution to support and expedite the transition toward renewable energy sources (RESs) as a case study in Crete Island, Greece. The optimal site selection in Crete's coastal waters was detected by carefully evaluating the potential for wind, solar, and wave energy alongside environmental and social considerations. Later, the current electricity demand was analyzed, leading to the identification of suitable technologies for renewable energy harvesting and the conceptualization of a floating structure. The findings of this research emphasize the viability of integrating diverse energy sources as a pivotal step for Crete Island to advance toward energy independence and environmental sustainability. Crete's abundant wind and solar resources underscore its capacity to host innovative projects, warranting further exploration into energy surplus storage and export.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Emerging Trends of Biohydrogen Ecosystem on Environmental Sustainability: a Case Study(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Goren, A. Yagmur; Dincer, IbrahimThe greatest threat to humanity is now considered climate change. Biomass as a renewable energy source is treated as one of the clean energy sources that help meet humanity's energy needs. In the transition to a new energy system based on renewable energies, biomass can be crucial. This paper particularly focuses on a new biohydrogen (bioH2) ecosystem development concept for communities to provide global and local sustainable and green energy, considering the biomass-to-bioenergy nexus. In this regard, the paper further discusses the different bioH2 ecosystem concepts and emerging trends where biomass and renewable resources are utilized for energy production. In addition, the bioenergy production potentials of different agricultural crop wastes are evaluated for different end-use purposes like electricity, heat, cogeneration, and transport. In parallel to its high bioenergy yield, the highest total energy (83,686.8 GJ) and gross electricity (4686.5 MWh) production values were observed for the olive cake waste. Moreover, the biomethane and bioethanol production potentials of the crop wastes are evaluated. The highest biomethane yield of 253.7 m3/ha with a total bioenergy production of 40,662.6 GJ was obtained for the maize stover waste, while its bioethanol production was 505.7 L/ha. Consequently, the bioH2 ecosystem with biomass utilization reveales as a sustainable and green way of providing future energy for communities owing to the great potential of crop wastes for bioenergy production.
