This research shows and presents alternative fuels for the shipping industry in terms of technological maturity, availability, safety, emissions, and regulations. This analysis covers the changing needs for the energy transition and sustainability ambitions. As it will start by outlining the current state of marine fuels and the challenges ahead to decarbonize the shipping industry. Also in this research, will show that bunkering and well-to-wake emissions are approached and situated in the real-world context of global and regional regulations. Choosing an alternative fuel for maritime operations is not only based on a financial evaluation in a closed shipping eco-system, as well as considering the availability of the fuel, local government incentives and perhaps even geo-politics. This paper will add a natural progress to technology concept, reducing ship emissions, which described the IMO tools and requirements needed to reduce ship emissions. This presented paper aims to inform all stakeholders of the current context and market perspectives. The decarbonization challenge shipping emissions in future could increase by +40% to +150% by 2050 if no action is done. This will have direct effect in contributing global warming. This paper also investigates the different approaches that will be taken by 2050 in hydrogen-based fuels and biofuel instruments.
