Existing technologies and scientific advancements to reduce CO2 emissions from ships by retrofitting

Aleksandr Kondratenko; Mingyang Zhang; Sasan Tavakoli; Elias Altarriba; Spyros Hirdaris

Abstract

The shipping industry is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, and urgent action is required to reduce these emissions in line with global climate goals. Currently, the International Maritime Organization aims to reduce CO2 emissions from shipping by 40% in 2030 and the total annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 70 % in 2040 compared to the benchmark values of 20081,2. Shipping decarbonization can be achieved by two main actions: building new “green” ships and retrofitting old ships to make them “greener”. In the present study, we concentrate on the second issue: how to use existing and developing zero- and low-emission fuel technologies and energy-efficient technologies for ship retrofitting. We analyzed the published scientific literature on alternative innovative technological paths to decarbonize shipping, concentrating on specific pros and cons and the compatibility of different technologies.
