Its said in the future the Sun will get hotter, Maybe if we put greenhouse gases in it during that time, it would melt the ice and create a world wide ocean.

Wait how long is a day on Euorpa, just wondering because we could be dealing with a Venus like problem.

At 5 times the Earth distance from the Sun,
the power is around 60 watts/square meter.

If you had reflectors 25 times the floating greenhouse area, it might work.
