It is projected that until 2050, oil will continue to be the prevalent fuel used by the shipping industry. In 2050, however, the energy mix should become more varied, with alternative fuels accounting for around half of total energy consumption by the industry. By 2070, ammonia is expected to become the dominant source of energy for powering ships.
