Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to announce the opening of a new Special Issue in the Applied Sciences journal.
Achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals is a process of acting towards zero emissivity or, alternatively, climate neutrality. In this regard, transport is a major factor. Taking this fact into consideration, 90% of world trade is serviced by shipping, and shipping is the main leg in international value chains; therefore, the crucial issue is how to design and to equip the shipping industry to redirect current technologies based on HFO or MGO or LNG towards cleaner fuels, potentially reaching zero emission.
The Special Issue is devoted to the current technology solutions applicable to the shipping industry and port operations sector towards decarbonization and zero-emissivity goals. Alternatively, the SI will improve the knowledge in the area of technologies implementation and its supporting tools and decarbonization policy from the microscale up to the global level. In addition, technologies supporting social responsibility and publicity engagement to maritime policy are welcome invited.
Accepted papers will contribute to the global debate of the pathways of port and shipping greening process, efficient solutions, prioritizing criteria and actors engagement incentives.
Some topics of interest to be considered by the Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Fuel saving solutions for ships,
- Electrification of port operations,
- Marine-based liquid hydrogen production,
- Liquid hydrogen as marine fuel,
- Electrification or hydrogenization of shipping. Alternatives, opposites or supplements
