Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of adopting eco-friendly technologies on reducing air pollutants in domestic ship operating in South Korea and proposes future policy directions based on the findings. Recently, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and government have urged the application of various eco-friendly technologies to address marine air pollution and achieve carbon neutrality. Reducing major pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and particulate matter (PM), emitted by domestic ship has become a pressing issue. In this study, different alternative fuels (e.g., LNG, methanol, battery) and post-treatment technologies (e.g., DPF) were applied according to various scenarios, and the emission reduction of air pollutants (PM10, PM2.5) was estimated for each scenario. The analysis shows that by 2030, immediately applicable technologies such as DPF and biofuels are effective reduction measures, and by 2050, the commercialization of carbon-free fuels and electric propulsion technologies will be essential. By quantitatively presenting the impact of eco-friendly technology adoption on air pollutant emissions, this study emphasizes the need to expand policy and technological infrastructure to achieve eco-friendliness and carbon neutrality in the maritime sector. Consequently, it suggests the necessity of government support and regulatory measures.
