报告摘要:
The practice and technical innovations never stopped to evolutionise the energy structure in the maritime industry. The onset of shipping came with the need for energy to drive the vessels to move quickly and safely. The human and natural resources for this purpose have been used since the very beginning. The internal combustion engines woke up a new era of shipping, i.e. trends of ships getting bigger and shipping speed becoming higher. The use of fossil fuels, however, contributed pollution to the environment. The ever-increasing concern on the pollution from shipping promotes the optimisation or continuous evolution of energy structures in the maritime industry. Nowadays, the sources of energy are varied, and the research on cleaner and clean energy has received more and more attention in the past decades.
