It’s all how you view the glass right! Is it half empty or half full?
A Norwegian shipping company has implemented a new technology to create a zero-emission barge that can sail for 2-4 hours. I’m sure their glass is half full! Zero Emissions Services (ZES) has designed a shipping container that stores green renewable energy within lithium-ion batteries designed to fit inside. Clean renewable energy is what powers the barge eliminating the need to burn fossil fuels!
When the barge pulls into port, within 15 minutes it exchanges the green renewable energy container with a fully charged one. Then the barge heads back to its port of call assuring that no CO2, nitrogen, or particulates are released. This is a welcomed scalable solution. ZES is in the work for adding eight more barges to its fleet!
To create a new zero emissions economy, it will take many solutions, like this one along, with open minds allowing new technologies to enter existing markets.
