Technology and economic perspective of hydrogen as a green fuel on ship
Keywords:
Hydrogen, Green fuel, ShipAbstract
The maritime industry is currently navigating a critical juncture with the imperative goals of de-carbonization and achieving zero carbon emissions, driven by increasingly stringent environmental regulations. As the world grapples with the escalating depletion of fossil fuels, the industry is compelled to explore alternative energy sources. Green hydrogen, produced through electrolysis and devoid of carbon emissions, emerges as a promising solution for the maritime sector's sustainable future. Despite the potential benefits, the development of hydrogen as a viable marine fuel faces numerous technical and economic challenges. This article provides a thorough examination of the technical and economic aspects of hydrogen's development, offering insights that can inform evaluations, propose solutions, and catalyze new research initiatives. By addressing these challenges, the maritime industry can pave the way for the widespread adoption of hydrogen technology, contributing significantly to the sector's commitment to environmental sustainability. This comprehensive analysis aims to facilitate in-formed decision-making, foster innovation, and accelerate the integration of hydrogen as a clean and efficient fuel for ships.
