This document summarises both the functionalities as well as the more technical aspects of the code implemented for this module. This module will provide the user with four assessments: identification of the potential presence of endangered species in the area; environmental impacts estimated using relevant metrics such as the underwater noise or the collision risk between vessels/devices and the marine wildlife; estimation of the carbon footprint of the project in terms of two mid-point indicators; information to improve the social acceptance of the project considering cost of consenting and jobs creation.

This report is the outcome of an analysis of potential markets for ocean energy technology. The aim was to develop a greater understanding of the potential markets for the deployment and the exploitation of these technologies. The focus includes both the present market status and future opportunities for commercialisation of both grid and non-grid applications.

A coherent set of functional and technical requirements have been developed for the DTOcean+ suite of design tools based on analysis of gaps between the current state-of-the-art tools, learning from the original DTOcean project, and the stakeholder expectations identified in the user consultation survey. The technical requirements in this document are translated from the general requirements for the software suite of tools, and specific requirements (functional, operational, user, interfacing, and data) for the assessment tools that will be developed as part of this project.

This report provides a critical evaluation of the ocean energy sector’s legal, institutional, and political frameworks with an identification and analysis of barriers and enabling factors for the deployment of ocean energy.

This report is the outcome of a task dedicated to specific sector standards for business management models for the ocean energy sector. The aim of this task was to define alternative business models for the sector by developing a greater understanding of these models and recommending development routes to industrial roll-out to improving the market opportunity.
