The Green Energy Ship Concept

Download or read book The Green Energy Ship Concept written by Max F. Platzer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-05 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book aims to show that technology currently exists to build and operate large autonomous sailing ships equipped with hydrokinetic turbines and electrolysers that could operate in high-wind ocean areas. This technology would enable seawater to be converted into storable hydrogen, thereby tapping into an inexhaustible energy reservoir sufficient for the transition to an emission-free global economy. The book is presented in two parts. Part one presents a broad look at possible solutions to the climate change challenge and provides an overview of current approaches. Part two introduces 12 specific technologies that could enable the green energy ship concept.
