This deliverable focuses on the environmental performance andemissions reduction potential of sustainable alternative fuels in maritime applications. The deliverable evaluates how replacing traditional fossil fuels with low- and zero-emission alternatives can support the maritime sector’s transition to cleaner energy. It reviews relevant international and national regulations—including FuelEU Maritime—and identifies key challenges and gaps in meeting emission reduction targets.
Key highlights include:
- An overview of current climate regulations in shipping
- Analysis of market trends pushing the industry toward decarbonisation
- A detailed emissions calculation from well-to-wake for selected case ships
- Assessment of whether these ships can meet short-, medium-, and long-term emission goals
- Practical recommendations to speed up the journey to net-zero emissions
By aligning regulatory goals with real-world ship data, this deliverable supports evidence-based decisions for a sustainable future in maritime transport.
