Bunker fuel alternatives

Bunker fuel alternatives are cleaner options for powering ships, aiming to reduce pollution and greenhouse gases. These include renewable fuels like biofuels derived from plants, which produce fewer emissions. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is another option, offering lower pollutants compared to traditional heavy fuel oils. Electricity-powered ships via batteries or land-based charging are emerging, especially for short routes. Additionally, hydrogen and ammonia are being explored as zero-emission fuels. These alternatives help the shipping industry meet environmental regulations while maintaining efficiency and safety.
