Methanol A Promising Solution?
There has been much talk about reducing CO2 emissions from superyachts and apart from incremental changes that may be possible through technology such as hybrid propulsion, batteries, digitalisation and efficient hull design, the uncomfortable truth is it will not be sufficient to reach the goal of zero-carbon yachting. The only way to achieve that goal […]
Hybrid Yachts – More Than Just Hype?
There has been a lot written about ‘Hybrid’ yachts, often with some hype about being eco-friendly, having green credentials, etc., but with very little information of substance to support the claims. Hybrid, in the context of motor yachts, just means there is more than one system capable of providing propulsion and/or electrical power. Apart from […]
