Renewable energy is shaping our future due to the ever-growing environmental crises. The world needs purposeful activity to diminish fossil fuel uses and execute carbon relief measures as nonrenewable options cannot be eliminated within a few decades. Offshore structures play a significant role in extracting nonrenewable energy; however, these create environmental hazards and are not cost-effective. In this study, the use of renewable energy for powering the offshore structures is discussed. It also reflects the economic and social awareness perspective that is much needed by any country. The paper compiles all recent innovation, usage limits, efficiency, contribution, and challenges for utilizing sustainable power sources on offshore platforms. The paper finally discusses some ideas to manage the introduction and subsequent growth of renewable energy resources. This research aims to notify concerned individuals about the current capabilities with possible opportunities and challenges. The discussion of this paper will inform future decision-makers and researchers on policies to be taken in this burgeoning sector, along with the path for future research and scope for improvement.
