A UK startup plans to launch roving fleets of high tech sailing ships, aimed at leveraging wind power to produce green hydrogen on-the-go.
Why wait for alternative fuels? Norsepower is scaling up its plans for bringing wind power back to the cargo shipping industry.
Wind power gives an assist to low-impact wildlife filmmaking in “Animals Up Close.”
Shipping industry taps new “hard sail” aerodynamic wind energy harvesting devices to cut its carbon footprint (or, just shop less).
Wind power can help solve the shipping industry’s carbon woes, as demonstrated by the new Seawing sail from the French firm Airseas.
Wing-like rigid sails are leaping from the rarified world of yacht racing to the backs of cargo ships.
The return of wind power slips a much-needed dose of clean energy into the global shipping industry as it seeks to avoid an upward spiral of carbon emissions.
A cutting-edge new cargo ship from the company Eco Marine Power could be the first out of the box to integrate a rigid sail system with solar power and energy storage. Going by the concept design, the renewable energy hardware seems to be taking up some valuable deck space, but this first vessel will be a floating R&D platform intended to arrive at the optimal balance between renewables and cargo for various ship models.
A futuristic wind powered cargo ship is in the works, and it sports sails modeled after one of the largest luxury yachts in the world, the Maltese Falcon. If it proves successful, the new B9 cargo ship could usher in a new era of fossil fuel–free technology at a critical … [continued]
