Abstract: The maritime industry faces a critical challenge in meeting the carbon reduction targets set by the International Maritime Organization. Achieving these targets requires a mix of solution that encompasses the use of renewable energies, alternative fuels, as well as the implementation of cutting-edge technologies. This paper investigates the potential impact of alternative fuels, their influence on meeting carbon intensity metrics, and the role of various policies, including incentives and taxation, in accelerating the transition to low- and zero-emission solutions.
