Renewable Energy Concept Development and Application in Shipping Industry

Abstract

Shipping industry contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions. As awareness of the impact of climate change grows, there is an urgent need to transition towards sustainable practices in the maritime sector. One solution is the adoption of renewable energy sources for ships, which can significantly reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency. This article explores various renewable energy sources that can be used on ships, such as solar and wind energy and carbon capture technology. The benefits and challenges of each energy source are discussed, along with their potential to support the shipping industry’s sustainability goals. The article also examines the latest technological advancements and innovations in renewable energy for ships, such as hybrid propulsion systems and fuel cells. The present article concludes with a discussion of the regulatory framework and policies that can support the adoption of renewable energy sources in the shipping industry. The transition towards renewable energy sources for ships is an essential step towards achieving a more sustainable future for the shipping industry and the planet.
