To achieve true decarbonization in the shipping industry, alternative fuel options must be evaluated on a well-to-wake basis. Carbon-free fuels may still produce more WtW emissions than the fossil fuels they're meant to replace due to their carbon-intensive supply chains. For this reason, it is crucial to comprehend the production and distribution processes for these fuels. One of the most promising ways to decarbonize shipping is to use electrofuels (e-fuels), which are created using renewable energy, along with biofuels that come from sustainable sources.
