Interdisciplinary analysis reveals energy transition pathways, highlighting emissions and costs in ship transport.

This study evaluates the environmental and economic trade-offs of low-carbon fuels in coastal shipping.
Comparison of alternative fuels like biofuels, methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen
Assessment using life cycle parameters and marginal abatement cost
Development of strategic implementation scenarios until 2050
Switching from HFO to Bio-LNG or green methanol reduces CO₂ and SOx emissions
The transition leads to increased total operating costs
A gradual hybrid scenario combines early biofuels with a transition to hydrogen and ammonia

Melnyk et al. (2026) studied this question.
