In this episode of the TradeWinds Green Seas podcast, technology editor Craig Eason reports on the efforts by three hard headed entrepreneurs who have refused to take no for an answer and are on their way to building fleets of sail powered vessels for cargo owners that want to walk-the-walk rather than just talk about the need to decarbonise their logistics chains.
The main shipping companies are tackling decarbonisation by staring at a future of alternative fuels and possibly wind assist solutions to help cut fuel bills and possibly reduce emissions. These are the individuals thinking the other way round, they want their fleets to be primarily powered by the wind, and have an engine as a back up. But will cargo owners and their banks buy into the dream?
We meet Guillame Le Grand, founder and chief executive of Trans Oceanic Wind transport (TOWT); Jen Zanuttini, co-founder and president of Neoline; and Danielle Southcott, founder and chief executive of Veer Group.
