The main motivation for this paper was the lack of studies and comparative analyses on the new generation of alternative fuels in the marine sector, such as methane, methanol, ammonia and hydrogen. Firstly, a review of international legislation and the status of these new fuels was carried out, highlighting the current situation and the different existing alternatives for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In addition, the status and evolution of the current order book for ships since the beginning of this decade were used for this analysis. Secondly, each fuel and its impact on the geometry and operation of the engine were evaluated in a theoretical engine called MW-1. Lastly, an economic analysis of the current situation of each fuel and its availability in the sector was carried out in order to select, using the indicated methodology, the most viable fuel at present to replace traditional fuels with a view to the decarbonization set for 2050.
