Implementation Research of Alternative Fuels and Technologies in Maritime Transport

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Modern Technologies in Energy and Transport

Part of the book series: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control ((SSDC,volume 510))

Abstract

As part of its commitment to clean transport, the world leading countries have pledged to become climate-neutral by 2050. Already in the interim, the goal is to gradually reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent by 2030. In this context, maritime transport, where fossil fuels have been used for quite some time, is waiting to be transformed in order to become part of the program on the way to achieving the international community's climate goals. In order to achieve these results, there has been a special push to explore low sulfur or low emission technologies, alternative or low carbon fuels and other sustainable fuel and energy efficient technologies. Thus, the use of alternative fuels and LNG in particular virtually nullifies the risks of water pollution from shipping and spills, and significantly reduces emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases.
