Abstract :A major share of present day energy requirements are met from fossil fuels, which are non-renewable. Given the present rate of usage of energy, fossil fuels will not last long. Burning fossil fuels results in global warming and harmful exhaust emissions, leading to environmental pollution and health hazards. Ships are responsible for approximately 3%of global greenhouse gas emissions, in addition to air pollution. Stringent regulatory requirements and environmental concerns call for use of renewable energy and alternate fuels in shipping sector, which include offshore wind, marine biomass, wave, tide, ocean current, osmotic gradient, thermal gradient etc. Various aspects of application of alternative energy resources in marine vehicles are explored in this paper.
