Abstract

International shipping, responsible for over 90 % of global trade, also generates significant emission. To meet the emission reduction targets set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the development of a low-carbon shipping energy system has emerged as a global consensus. This study compares the technical characteristics and emission reduction effectiveness of various alternative fuels and analyzes the phased transition in different countries. Three major challenges are identified: uncertain alternative energy choices, insufficient industry incentives, and an underdeveloped industrial framework. Then the study proposes solutions from the perspectives of country-based differences and industrial chain collaboration, focusing on alternative energy selection, enhancing incentives, and innovations in cross-industry governance. It offers targeted recommendations to support the sustainable development of the global shipping industry.

全球航运业向清洁能源转型：国家差异和产业链合作

占全球贸易90%以上的国际航运业也产生了大量的碳排放。为实现国际海事组织（IMO）制定的减排目标，发展低碳航运能源体系已成为全球共识。本研究比较了各种替代燃料的技术特点和减排效果，并分析了不同国家的阶段性过渡。确定了三个主要挑战：不确定的替代能源选择、不充分的工业激励和不发达的工业框架。在此基础上，本文从国家差异和产业链合作的角度提出了解决方案，重点关注替代能源选择、增强激励机制和跨行业治理创新。报告提出了有针对性的建议，以支持全球航运业的可持续发展。

期刊介绍： Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels. We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts. Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
