El principal tipo de hidrocarburos usado como combustible en los buques es el fueloil pesado, derivado del residuo de la destilación del petróleo crudo. El petróleo crudo contiene azufre que, tras la combustión en el motor, es liberado en la atmósfera junto con el resto de emisiones del buque. Los óxidos de azufre (SOx) son conocidos por ser perjudiciales para la salud humana, causando síntomas respiratorios y enfermedades de los pulmones. En la atmósfera, los SOx pueden producir lluvia ácida, que puede a su vez provocar daños en los cultivos, bosques y especies acuáticas, y contribuye además a la acidificación de los océanos.

Lord Turner, chair of the U.K.’s Energy Transitions Commission, said shipping was one of the hardest sectors in the global economy to decarbonize. Even so, he argued that technology and the use of zero-carbon fuels such as ammonia and green hydrogen could make shipping zero-carbon by 2050 if shippers and consumers accepted a doubling of transport costs.
Turner believes that because the cost of shipping constitutes such a small component of the retail price of most products, consumers will easily swallow such
