Maritime decarbonisation

Aykut I. Ölçer and Levent Bilgili

A chapter in Elgar Encyclopedia of Transport and Society, 2025, pp 230-231 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Maritime decarbonisation is the umbrella name given to all practices and technologies to reduce/remove greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from international shipping. It covers numerous approaches under the categories of energy efficiency, alternative fuels, and alternative energy systems. The energy efficiency methods aim to reduce carbon footprint and include, but are not limited to, energy-efficient ship designs, fuel-efficient operations, optimised ship handling, and energy management. Energy efficiency methods and the discovery of carbon-free solutions will enable a journey towards (net) zero carbon international shipping. This transition is called maritime decarbonisation by the maritime community.
