Solar Photovoltaic Systems: Assessing Their Impact on the Advancement of Marine Decarbonization
摘要
Clean energy development has become critical in decreasing fossil fuel consumption and addressing global warming. In the marine industry, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) made legal arrangements to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in January 2023. Photovoltaic (PV) systems, which are clean energy systems, have begun to discuss the use of marine floating systems and vessels to decrease GHG emissions. Solar energy has emerged as a promising and locally available renewable energy source worldwide. The findings demonstrate the use of promising PV applications in the development of marine systems worldwide. In this chapter, the last innovative floating photovoltaic (FPV) technologies, applications, and research with new design concepts and the use of other renewable energies are discussed for marine floating systems and vessels.
