Classical theories linking increased CO2 emissions to a country's economic development supported by foreign direct investment in industrial plants, coking plants, ironworks, shipbuilding, and other heavy industries marked the 20th century, with large MNCs seeking refuge in underdeveloped economic development. The second millennium of Croatia began with deindustrialization, both due to the extinction of large state-owned industrial losers and due to transformation and privatization, where the interest of capital was in the financial and tourism sectors. This does not mean that FDI was not present, but the expected greenfield investments were missing, especially after joining the EU. To what extent FDI has influenced the increase in carbon emissions is the subject of research in this paper.

The cost of renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar is falling significantly over the decade and this can have a large influence on the efforts to reach sustainability. With the shipping industry contributing to a whopping 3.3% in global CO2 emissions, the International Maritime Organization has adopted short-term measures to reduce the carbon intensity of all ships by 50% by 2050. One of the means to achieve this ambitious target is the utilisation of propulsion systems powered by sustainable energy. This review paper summarises the current state of the adoption of renewable energy and alternative fuels used for ship propulsion. Special focus is given to the means of these alternative energies in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) and Goal 13 (Climate Action). A state-of-the-art for various ships powered by renewable energy and alternative fuels is investigated and their technologies for mitigating carbon emissions are described. The cost for each technology found in the literature is summarised and the pros and cons of each technology are studied.

The article studies the ways to achieve complete decarbonization of the SSS fleet in accordance with the IMO Strategy and the Green Plan for Europe 2050. Therefore, experts from the fields of shipping, shipbuilding, mechanical engineering, energy, technology, human resources management, logistics, maritime law, occupational safety and ecology assessed the selected elements of the quality of propulsion systems on ships. During the study, the sizes of these elements for the target year 2050 were numerically estimated. As a result, a matrix of development was created in relation to the current situation by which it is possible to determine their synergistic effect and the individual impact on other elements. The results of the research have shown that there is a real possibility of achieving the set goals if the values of individual quality elements of propulsion systems are improved.
