Here at CleanTechnica, we have written about electrifying personal watercraft and ferries — vessels used to cover short distances. Ocean-going cargo ships with all their containers are massive and need to travel much farther. It’s not possible to simply slap an enormous battery system and some electric motors in them … [continued]
Fisker and Nissan are in talks to create a new partnership focused on getting the Alaska pickup truck into production.
For a decade I’ve been tracking the exponential expansion of wind, solar, and to a lesser extent hydro electricity generation in China, mostly against nuclear generation’s much flatter growth trajectory. In recent years I’ve been looking at other aspects of generation, in part because of the regular refrain of delayers … [continued]
Lithium-air EV batteries could help decarbonize aviation, shipping, and railways if only some key technology hurdles can be leaped.
So much of the electric vehicle news is about land-based EVs. The social media bickering and arguing about EVs and gas-powered vehicles is also about the terrestrial versions. Electrification includes water-based transportation too, though this fact seems to be largely overlooked. Here at CleanTechnica, we have written about several electric boats, including previously about the Arc One, a limited-edition electric pleasure-craft.
Washington/Brussels/London/Singapore, 15 February 2024 — The global shipping regulator, the UN International Maritime Organisation, has set a target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 for the industry, and now needs to develop climate regulations by 2025 that make it possible to reach that target. A core challenge is how to … [continued]
All of our beloved coasts and bodies of water are enhanced by silent boats and ships. Together, the ground-breaking Norwegian tech companies Zeabuz and Evoy have unveiled a revolutionary idea that simplifies, streamlines, and goes greener with maritime transportation. Self-driving electric boats are the project’s goal. Autonomous electric boats offer … [continued]
About 25 years ago, hydrogen was the solution of choice for climate-aware technocrats and politicians, and with good reason. At the time, there really wasn’t much choice in terms of low-carbon energy carriers. Batteries were good enough for laptops and phones, but clearly no one was going to be running … [continued]
Is it too early in the year to start thinking about getting out on the water this spring and summer? It’s probably never too early to start looking at options for watercraft, as winter is an excellent time for window shopping, so if the purchase of a small boat this … [continued]
