Abstract
The maritime sector currently contributes approximately 2.3% of global CO₂ emissions, with projections suggesting that this share could rise to 10%-13% by 2050, highlighting an urgent need for decarbonization. In response to the potentially catastrophic impacts of climate change, there is increasing support for transitioning the maritime sector to cleaner fuels such as hydrogen and its derivatives to achieve net-zero emissions in the sector. This study explores how lessons from other sectoral energy transitions can accelerate and enhance the maritime sector’s decarbonization process.
