A Holistic Study on Renewable Energy Solutions for Marine Vessels

Abstract

The maritime industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact, particularly its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The adoption of renewable energy technologies on board ships is seen as a crucial step toward achieving this goal. This review article provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of renewable energy integration on ships, focusing on the technologies available, their applications, and the challenges faced. It also explores the future potential of these technologies and their role in meeting international environmental regulations. The article concludes with recommendations for further research and development in this field.
