Comparative analysis among different alternative fuels for ship propulsion in a well-to-wake perspective.

The shipping sector is required to give a significant contribution to the reduction of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, according to the ambitious goals fixed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). To achieve these targets, new technologies and measures are required, related to logistics, digitalization, hydrodynamics, machinery, energy, and aftertreatment. A large potential to reduce GHG emissions is offered by alternative fuels.
