Abstract
The importance of transportation in society and its significant contribution to polluting emissions from internal combustion engines using fossil fuels highlight the necessity of transitioning to a renewable energy matrix. Green hydrogen emerges as a viable option to mitigate this impact. This transition aims to reduce emissions in maritime transportation progressively.
The maritime sector plays a crucial role in global trade and transportation, accounting for a substantial portion of fossil fuel consumption and associated emissions. The adoption of cleaner and sustainable technologies in maritime transport not only aids in emission reduction but also fosters innovation and the development of eco-friendly solutions. Enhancing research and development in energy-efficient technologies and environmentally sustainable practices within maritime transport is essential for combating climate change on a global scale.
Transitioning towards green hydrogen and other renewable energy sources in maritime transport signifies a significant step towards a cleaner and more sustainable future. This shift prioritizes emission reduction and environmental protection as key objectives. By leveraging green hydrogen and renewable energy sources, the maritime industry can pave the way for a greener, more efficient, and environmentally conscious approach to transportation, setting new standards for sustainability and emission reduction in the sector.
