40% of all shipping is just to ship oil, gas and coal around. Roughly $42 billion per year is spent on maritime shipping fuels specifically to transport fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas). https://qz.com/2113243/forty-percent-of-all-shipping-cargo-consists-of-fossil-fuels

Over half the world’s container fleet is under 3,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units – the industry’s standard measure), operating shorter, high-frequency routes between ports.

These are exactly the routes where batteries begin to make sense.

What’s nifty about the Ning Yuan Dian Kun is that its batteries are housed inside 10 standard shipping containers:
✅ The battery containers can be swapped in port
✅ Each container includes cooling, monitoring and fire suppression systems
✅ The ship automatically recognises and integrates new battery modules

This is electrification without the downtime for charging.

Studies suggest battery-powered ships can already compete economically on routes up to 1,000 km – and that range is expanding as batteries improve.

Beyond propulsion, up to 30% of ship fuel is burned simply to provide power while in port. Work is already underway in Europe, North America and China to reduce this pollution by plugging moored vessels into the grid.

Without allocating any more space for wind farms, states like Oregon, New Mexico and Vermont could move to grids that are 100% wind/water/solar powered. They could even start becoming consistent net exporters of clean energy.

How you ask? By replacing older, aging turbines with bigger next-gen models.

Nothing revolutionary. No new technological breakthrough required.

Really interesting analysis out of Mark Jacobson's group at Stanford identifying this very cost effective opportunity to provide additional clean energy for the grid.

Top findings

• Europe's top five markets delivered a record-breaking quarter, with BEV sales up 36% YoY and BEV market share hitting an all-time Q1 high of 19%
• France and Germany led the BEV surge with growth of 50% and 41% respectively, boosted by renewed government purchase incentives
• The UK overtook Germany as Europe's largest PHEV market, growing 47% YoY, while PHEV sales across the top five rose 42% year-on-year
• China dragged global figures down, with BEV sales falling 20% and PHEV sales plunging 31% YoY, pulling total global EV sales down 10% to 3.5 million units

Current plans call for the drilling of up to two geothermal production wells and one injection well.

Once completed, the project is expected to establish a 30-megawatt geothermal power plant, generating more than enough electricity to meet Nevis’ domestic demand.

Financial support for the initiative is being provided through a package of international funding totaling approximately US$71.6 million.
