Discussion

Analytical framework evaluates emissions, land use, and water savings with floating photovoltaics in four countries.

Floating photovoltaics can provide up to 3% of power generation by 2065, enhancing sustainability.
The study includes new methodologies for assessing water savings and land efficiency in the energy sector.
Assessment uses the OSeMOSYS framework and simulates various climate scenarios impacting energy technologies.
Combining land and carbon taxes can decrease emissions by 22%, marking significant implications for policy and practice.

Pieruzzi et al. (2025) studied this question.
