Resumo:
The growing demand for alternative and sustainable energy sources, along with the need to mitigate environmental impacts, has driven the development of the offshore wind industry. However, its implementation involves inherent risks and impacts, making their understanding and management essential for effective mitigation. With the widespread use of the term sustainability, the triple bottom line (TBL) concept has emerged, aiming to balance the economic interests of industry with its social and environmentaln responsibilities. This has increased the complexity of precisely understanding and identifying these impacts since, besides different interpretations from the several stakeholders involved, some of these impacts may play multiple roles in different perspectives. This study, therefore, aims to identify and provide a semantically precise model about the environmental, social, and economic impacts of the offshore wind industry from a TBL perspective. Three methodological approaches are employed: a systematic literature review, conceptual modeling based on ontologies-specifically the COVeR ontology-and validation of the identified impacts with 11 experts in the field. The research identified 28 impacts, categorized according to the life cycle stages of offshore wind projects and the TBL dimensions. Key environmental impacts include the creation of artificial reefs, changes in biodiversity, underwater noise pollution, electromagnetic field generation, and ocean contamination. Social and economic impacts include restrictions on fishing activities, effects on tourism, job creation, and challenges related to social acceptance of such infrastructure. The most impacted life cycle stages are installation and operation and maintenance. Overall, this study provides a solid foundation for future research, particularly regarding improved risk management in the supply chain of offshore wind industry and support for decision-making processes, enabling the ranking of the most relevant impacts. Additionally, the results can guide public policy and support early-stage projects aimed at energy transition and sustainability, contributing to a more conscious development of the offshore wind sector.
