The emission of greenhouse gas due to the use of fossil fuel as the main source of energy increased the surface temperature and push the environment to a critical situation. As the result there is global demand and the resultant mandate for the government to reduce their greenhouse gas emission dramatically. Economies are looking for alternative fuel choice which ideally create no environmentally harmful pollution. Among the alternatives, Hydrogen seems to attract a lot of attention as the best future fuel of choice. As the demand for consumption of hydrogen as a sustainable source of global energy is on the rise there is a need for reliable and effective supply chain system to support its logistics. Maritime logistics system not only provide the most cost-efficient mode of transport, but it also is the most environmentally friendly. This paper after discussing the potential of hydrogen as a sustainable source of the energy for the future will explore the role of maritime logistics in its supply chain system. We propose a tool that allow analysing the variables and suggest the optimal hydrogen procurement and delivery points.
