| 摘要： | Smart Green Shipping's (SGS's) FastRig is retractable, recyclable, retrofittable, and its robust wing sails deliver direct thrust to augment a ship's main engine propulsion. It is therefore an important tool to reduce the maritime industry's carbon footprint. Back in 2018/19, we conducted a feasibility analysis with Drax, the United Kingdom's largest renewable energy company that imports 8 metric tons of biomass wood pellets into the United Kingdom from the United States per year. On that route, we evidenced that 20% fuel and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions could be saved every year with the vessel sailing at its usual speed on its usual route. These savings were verified by the University of Southampton and gave us confidence that we are on the right track. In our research and work, we focus on wind as it is a primary renewable, free, and abundant form of energy, which is exclusively available to any ship equipped to harness it. |
