The Potential of Zero-Carbon Bunker Fuels in Developing Countries
The World Bank

These alternative fuels are known to produce very low, and ultimately zero, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during their production, distribution, and use. They are called zero-carbon bunker fuels and encompass fuels which are "effectively zero" (that is, where the fuel is produced from zero-carbon electricity, for instance, hydrogen produced from solar or wind power), or “net-zero” (that is, where the production of the fuel removes a quantity of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere equivalent to that emitted during combustion, such as with biofuels).
