Sidewind is an innovative solution that harnesses wind energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cargo ships. By integrating turbines into cargo containers, it aims to provide a cost-effective method for ships to save fuel and energy.
International shipping is a large and growing source of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).
It transports 80% of the global trade at the cost of 940 million CO2 tons (2.5% of global GHGs).
Despite mandates from the EC or the UN on tackling this situation, the industry remains heavily fossil-fuel dependent.
Some efforts are being made in harnessing the wind to propel ships, going back to its origins.
These are soft-tails, fixed-sails, flettner rotors, kite sails and even some wind turbines.
