Industry & environmentalists tell EU the future of shipping fuel is green hydrogen and ammonia

Green Car Congress

Biofuels, on the other hand, do not offer a sustainable alternative for shipping, the groups say, as crop-based biofuels emit more than the fossil fuels they replace and there will not be enough advanced biofuels. Unlike advanced biofuels, green hydrogen and ammonia can be scaled to meet the energy demand of the global industry.
