Description
As the global maritime sector faces strict decarbonization mandates from the International Maritime Organization (IMO), transitioning toward sustainable, low-carbon operations has become an urgent imperative. Carbon Negative Shipping: Technologies and Pathways provides a detailed analysis of the strategies, technologies, and economic models required to drive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from commercial vessels beyond net-zero into carbon-negative territory.
This book evaluates cutting-edge technological pathways, including alternative zero-carbon fuels, wind-assisted propulsion, onboard carbon capture systems, and advanced hull optimization. Beyond purely technical considerations, it examines the economic elements, financial feasibility, capital expenditure requirements, and operational cost structures associated with integrating sustainable solutions into existing and next-generation fleet architectures.
Central to this study is the application of Industry 4.0 frameworks. By leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, real-time data analytics, artificial intelligence, digital twins, and automated route optimization, maritime operators can significantly enhance energy efficiency and accurately monitor emissions. Bridging marine engineering, environmental policy, and digital innovation, this work offers actionable insights for maritime researchers, ship managers, marine engineers, and industry stakeholders aiming to lead the transition toward a zero-emission maritime future.
