Scaling Down the Outflow of GHG Emission in Maritime Industry

This paper has described the methodologies used for reduction in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide [CO2], methane [CH4], nitrogen [NOx] etc. Also, it covers the technologies used all over the globe to capture the carbon [C], which is a major component of greenhouse gases. Moreover, this paper had also elaborated regarding the sustainable marine fuels like the hydrogen [H2] fuel cells and ammonia [NH3] as a marine fuel considering its specific energy (amount of energy present per unit mass of fuel expressed in MJ/kg) and energy density (amount of energy present per unit volume of fuel usually expressed in MJ/L), also the various types of biofuels like biodiesel, ethanol (C2H6O), E85 [combination of ethanol (C2H6O) and gasoline]. Overall, this paper will explain the feasibilities for the reduction of greenhouse gasses emission for the sustainable environment for the future generation. United Nation, European union and other countries has suggested steps to resolve the greenhouse gasses emission, and these steps are briefly elaborated in this paper. At the end this paper will conclude itself by the most feasible means of fuel sources in both environment and economic sustainability in the maritime industry.
