Alternative energy sources in maritime transport
Maritime transport has traditionally relied on fossil fuels, but alternative energy sources are becoming increasingly important because of their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. Some alternative energy sources that can be used in maritime transport include:
Biofuels
Biofuels are alternative energy sources produced from renewable organic materials such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and waste. They are being explored as a potential alternative to traditional fossil fuels in maritime transport due to their lower carbon footprint and their ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
