This Wind-Powered Cargo Ship Just Set Sail shorts

It's called the Pyxis Ocean, and on its maiden voyage, it will travel from China to Brazil with the help of giant next-generation sails, called WindWings. Maritime shipping is the backbone of global trade. The UN estimates that 80% of goods rely on it to get where they're going. It's also responsible for nearly 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions every year. Embracing a renewable energy source like wind isn't just good for the environment, it makes good business sense. A standard 165,000-ton cargo ship can easily rack up a gas bill in the millions of dollars. #shipping #renewableenergy #sailing #tech #climate Subscribe to Technality for all things future, tech & humanity
