An experimental wind-powered cargo ship has arrived in Southampton to undergo sea trials.
Fuel/Energy Type: Wind
How wind tech could help decarbonize cargo shipping
Wind is an underutilized resource that has the potential to steer the notoriously dirty shipping industry toward a greener future.
The first Odfjell vessel is equipped with bound4blue suction sails. Ready to cross the Atlantic to document energy-saving capacity
Odfjell’s chemical tanker Bow Olympus is all set to depart the yard with four 22-meter eSAILs® on deck. Now, the 49k vessel will be navigated towards the windy areas to explore real-time benefits of the wind-assisted propulsion technology.
Wind propulsion key to cut costs and carbon in shipping, shows new report
As the International Maritime Organization (IMO) prepares to meet in London from 31 March to 11 April to finalise measures for its greenhouse gas (GHG) strategy, a new report by marine NGO Seas At Risk shows the significant economic and climate benefits of using wind-assisted propulsion to power global shipping.
Europe’s largest rocket travels on a wind-powered cargo ship
With its four sails towering 121 feet (37 meters) over its main deck, Canopée is a cargo ship with an unusual design, and a very unusual cargo.
Seven EU Countries Call for Pause to Shipping’s EU-ETS Inclusion
EU member states in the south of the continent are calling for a pause to shipping’s inclusion in the bloc’s emissions trading system, just over a month before the regulation is due to come into effect.
Explainer: Why carbon capture is no easy solution to climate change
Technologies that capture carbon dioxide emissions to keep them from the atmosphere are central to the climate strategies of many world governments as they seek to follow through on international commitments to decarbonize by mid-century.
These electric ferries may set a new standard around clean public transportation
Many cities around the world see clean and efficient public transport as a crucial way to lower their carbon emissions.
Sail-powered cargo ship ‘shows potential of wind’
Retrofitting giant, rigid sails to a cargo ship has effectively cut its fuel use and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, shipping firm data shows.
