Abstract

De-carbonization and zero carbon are currently the main targets for the shipping sector as environmental regulations become increasingly stringent. The increasing depletion of fossil fuels is also a strong reason for the shipping world to look for alternative energy. Green hydrogen is expected to play well in the maritime industry^s journey towards de-carbonization. Produced via electrolysis, H2 free of carbon emissions, could be widely available throughout the world in the future. Currently, the development of hydrogen is still experiencing many challenges and obstacles. In this article, a technical and economic perspective regarding the development of hydrogen, can be used in evaluations, solutions, and new research developments to perfect hydrogen technology as fuel on ships.
