Shippers face higher costs when switching to greener fuels
The shipping industry is exploring alternatives to petroleum derivatives, but potential greener fuels are described as too expensive for widespread adoption.

The outlet reports that greener fuel alternatives remain prohibitively costly, limiting who can afford the switch.
