This contributed book focuses on decarbonization of maritime transport by highlighting different aspects of decarbonization methods indicated in the International Maritime Organizations Initial Greenhouse Gas Strategy (2018). The book contains studies on alternative fuels and alternative energy systems with their life cycle assessment, electrification and hybridization of ships, carbon capture technologies, green port concept, energy efficiency management, and market-based measures. This book will be of interest to those working in academia and industry in maritime technologies and transportation.

Dr. Burak Zincir has been working at the Marine Engineering Department of Maritime Faculty, Istanbul Technical University, since 2013, and he has been Assistant Professor since 2020 at the same department. His research areas are alternative marine fuels, performance and emissions of marine diesel engines, decarbonization methods and technologies, and energy efficiency on ships. His M.Sc. thesis was on applying hydrogen as marine diesel engine fuel. His Ph.D. thesis focused on an alternative fuel assessment model for ships and experiments on the effect of methanol on diesel lă&
