Ships haven't had sails for generations but the idea is gaining new supporters as shipping companies work to lower their carbon emissions.
, Jimmy Buffett laments the passage from the days of sailing ships to the age of steam power. For centuries, sailors got where they were going and back home again in ships powered by the wind. In the golden age of sail, navigators guarded their records of where the wind blew hardest and where there were no breezes at all costs. Stealing that information was punishable by death!
Many shipping companies are aware of the damage these vessels are causing to the world’s environment, but other means of propulsion costs more money — often a lot more money. In a business where a half a penny per ton/mile can be the difference between making money or going broke, and doing the right thing is wrong thing to do if you want to stay in business.There are lots of ideas for how to lower the carbon emissions of ships.
“Today is the culmination of years of pioneering research,” John Cooper, CEO of BAR Technologies, said in a statement. The project received funding through a European Union led initiative to lower the carbon emissions associated with shipping by exploring new technologies.
