This book provides a comprehensive examination of the technological, regulatory, economic, and infrastructural dimensions of maritime decarbonization. Drawing upon an extensive review of contemporary academic literature, policy documents, and industry reports, it synthesizes current knowledge and emerging developments to present a holistic understanding of the low-carbon shipping transition.

The scope encompasses the full spectrum of decarbonization pathways—from alternative fuels and energy efficiency technologies to digital innovations and market-based mechanisms—while maintaining focus on practical implementation challenges and solutions. The analysis integrates technical feasibility assessments with economic viability considerations, regulatory compliance requirements, and environmental impact evaluations across the complete fuel lifecycle.
