A central focus is classifying European waterbodies to create a decision-support tool for optimal FPV site selection, considering waterbody types, ecological services, and hydrological data. SuRE also models FPV impacts on ecosystems, establishing maximum coverage thresholds and benefits like evaporation reduction. Advanced life cycle analysis (LCA) methodologies assess the environmental footprint of FPV systems, including carbon emissions and biodiversity impact, while exploring recycling options for plastic components to improve sustainability.
