Advantages of Hydrogen as a Marine Fuel

Hydrogen has the potential to decarbonize the shipping industry by offering clean burning with water as the byproduct. If produced using renewable energy, hydrogen can result in zero carbon emissions for both production and consumption. The high carbon footprint of the shipping industry, accounting for a large portion of greenhouse gas emissions, can be significantly reduced by adopting hydrogen as a marine fuel, aiding in mitigating air pollution and lowering the industry's carbon footprint.
