The maritime industry has been actively pursuing decarbonization efforts driven by international emissions regulations. In 2024, a surge in partnerships, contracts, and studies focused on alternative fuels marked significant progress in this green journey. Wind propulsion systems, including projects like the UK's wind propulsion project and Anemoi's Rotor Sails, gained attention for their transformative potential. Companies like Eastern Pacific Shipping and Klaveness Combination Carriers also delved into wind propulsion installations, contributing to the industry's shift towards cleaner energy sources. Methanol and ammonia emerged as promising alternatives, with a notable uptake in methanol-fueled vessels and innovative projects like the world's first methanol-powered bulk carrier. While ammonia faced technical challenges, initiatives like the planned ammonia bunkering facility in Norway and the development of ammonia-fueled vessels demonstrated a growing interest in this fuel. Additionally, nuclear power gained traction as a potential future fuel solution, with advancements like the establishment of the Nuclear Energy Maritime Organization and research programs for nuclear-powered ships. The industry's focus on sustainable practices highlights a positive sentiment towards achieving global climate goals and reducing environmental impact in maritime transport.
