This groundbreaking book aims to show that technology currently exists to build and operate large autonomous sailing ships equipped with hydrokinetic turbines and electrolysers that could operate in high-wind ocean areas. This technology would enable seawater to be converted into storable hydrogen, thereby tapping into an inexhaustible energy reservoir sufficient for the transition to an emission-free global economy. The book is presented in two parts. Part one presents a broad look at possible solutions to the climate change challenge and provides an overview of current approaches. Part two…mehr

This groundbreaking book aims to show that technology currently exists to build and operate large autonomous sailing ships equipped with hydrokinetic turbines and electrolysers that could operate in high-wind ocean areas. This technology would enable seawater to be converted into storable hydrogen, thereby tapping into an inexhaustible energy reservoir sufficient for the transition to an emission-free global economy. The book is presented in two parts. Part one presents a broad look at possible solutions to the climate change challenge and provides an overview of current approaches. Part two introduces 12 specific technologies that could enable the green energy ship concept.

Rezensionen
"Completion of the research trajectories outlined above could harness the effectively limitless energy of the ocean waves, which currently beat uselessly on the shorelines of the world, and could also mitigate climate change effects. An equally strong claim can be made for the research into autonomous sailboats moving turbines ... making the hydrogen economy an economic reality. ... the US National Research Foundation has invited its proponents to submit a proposal ... to seed funding of more than US$1 million." (William Kingston, Prometheus, Vol. 38 (2), 2022)
