By summarizing the development of low-carbon transformation in shipping vessels,waterways,and ports along the Yangtze River under the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals,this paper analyzes trends such as the slowdown in freight demand growth in Yangtze River shipping,the increase in new energy sources like LNG,the promotion of new energy applications such as LNG and lithium batteries in vessels,and the ongoing expansion of shore power technology and adjustment of energy structures in ports towards low-carbon development.It proposes measures to improve institutional mechanisms and carbon emission evaluation systems,promote the routine application of new energy sources,adjust energy use structures,build an integrated transportation system,and optimize transportation structures.The research results can lay the foundation for subsequent research on carbon emission monitoring methods in Yangtze River shipping and provide technical support and decision-making references in advancing the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality efforts in Yangtze River shipping.
