Study the model of a ship which is manufacturing by utilization of wind and solar energy

Abstract

The shipping industry is facing three major challenges: climate change, increasing bunker fuel price and tightening international rules on pollution and CO2 emissions. All these challenges can be met by reducing fuel consumption. The energy efficiency of shipping is already very good in comparison with other means of transportation but can still be and must be improved. There exist many technical and operational solutions to that extent. But assessing their true and final impact on fuel consumption is far from easy as ships are complex systems. The use of clean and renewable energies, such as solar energy for instance, is proposed as a method to improve the ship efficiency. Ships can get the benefits from solar energy since most of their upper decks are always exposed to the Sun, especially in tropical regions. The use of renewable energy is increasingly being seen as part of the energy mix for the shipping sector and the power of the wind and sun will most likely play an important role in helping to reduce fuel use and emissions from ships, especially as further renewable energy related technologies are developed.
