  • Abstract

    The shipping industry contributes greatly to international greenhouse gas emissions. While more people recognize the destructive influence ‎of climate change, the marine sector has a critical need to switch to green operations using such renewable energies as a means to mitigate its ‎footprints on the environment. One alternative is the deployment of renewable energy sources on ships, which might help the shipping ‎industry achieve its sustainability goals and drastically cut emissions. Each energy source's benefits and drawbacks are also covered. The ‎most recent developments in ship renewable energy, including fuel cells and hybrid propulsion systems, are also covered in the article. This ‎paper offers insightful recommendations for ship operators and owners and provides crucial tips on how to manage contemporary marine ‎propulsion plant systems effectively.
