Ships decarbonization is an urgent technology and responsibility challenge that impacts global warming

Maritime transport generates 3% of global CO2 emissions according to the GHG (Greenhouse Gases) report. The aim of this research was to analyze the decarbonization of ships through the technological migration from conventional fuels to alternative types for zero-emission purposes. On the other hand, shipping companies that modernize their fleets to zero emissions will have priority in the provision of services. However, those that do not have these assets will be penalized. A mixed analysis was carried out on the migration of technologies in zero-emission ships based on the quantification and estimation of statistical control variables, decision-making, modernization stages and technologies. The characterization of data obtained from each ship will determine the feasibility of applicable technologies to achieve zero emissions. The optimization of technology applied to each ship according to its use will be the subject of future work.
