Alternative marine fuels

Alternative marine fuels are environmentally friendlier options used to power ships instead of traditional heavy fuel oil. They include fuels like LNG (liquefied natural gas), biodiesel, ethanol, and hydrogen, which produce fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases. These fuels help reduce the shipping industry's carbon footprint and comply with stricter environmental regulations. While some are readily available, others are still being developed or tested. Overall, alternative marine fuels aim to support sustainable maritime transportation by offering cleaner, more efficient energy sources for ships.
