Trasporto marittimo e carburanti alternativi. alcuni esempi di porti virtuosi del Mediterraneo.

Maritime transport and alternative fuels. Some examples of virtuous Mediterranean ports. The adoption of alternative fuels in maritime transport is a key challenge in the global energy transition. Although fossil fuels dominate, interest in LNG, ammonia, hydrogen, and nuclear energy is growing. Fuel choice depends on political, geographical, and technological factors, as well as ship type and crew qualification. An integrated approach, balancing innovation, economic feasibility, and regulation is needed to overcome barriers and foster international cooperation. This study analyses Mediterranean ports investing in alternative fuels, offering models for sustainable maritime transport.
