Abstract

The maritime industry, in particular shipbuilding and ship repair, faces significant environmental challenges due to high energy consumption and significant carbon footprint. This study aims to explore the strategies used to reduce the environmental impact through renewable energies such as solar, marine and wind; for this a literature survey was conducted over the last 7 years in the Scopus database. The results show that the application of renewable energies significantly reduces the carbon footprint, optimizes processes and improves resource management, which translates into economic savings and lower operating costs. In addition, the adoption of clean technologies enhances corporate reputation and provides competitive advantages. The study concludes that sustainable practices in shipyards are crucial to reducing environmental impact and promoting long-term sustainability, providing a basis for the development of policies that support energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
