Yara Marine intends to implement a new technology called WindWings, by BAR Tech, which consists of using wind energy as a propellant for ships on the high seas
The wind power for ships in high seas WindWings is a new technology made up of sails that measure around 45 meters in height, installed on the deck of ships. A BAR Technologies entered into a partnership with Yara Marine, a manufacturer of purifiers. According to the bar tech, the new technology, which uses wind energy in ships on the high seas, offers a reduction of up to 30% in the diesel consumption of some large ships. Furthermore, to reduce further, wind energy propulsion is combined with route optimization.

Words from the company directors – The success of offshore wind energy
The partnership with Yara, to deliver the first installation of technology that uses wind energy on the high seas, defines the reference as a legitimate beginning of the industry.
The company believes that the combination of the companies' experiences will mark the technology for a long time, with long-term commercial success. In the future, the time is right for offshore technology to be offered globally, says the CEO of BAR Technologies, John Cooper.

The CEO of Yara Marine Technologies, Thomas Koniordos stated that the technology of wind energy on the high seas by Bar Tech will go a long way towards putting the shipping industry on the ideal path to ending carbon emissions.
Cargill's President of Ocean Transportation, Jan Dieleman said that wind power propulsion, due to its high potential to be economically viable, is increasingly important in the market and works well in various combinations with other fuels.
Renewable energies on ships
Wind, hydrogen and solar energy can be part of power generation and propulsion systems on ships at sea, thus eliminating the consumption of fossil fuels.
A great example of innovation in this area is the Tesla Ship, which are freighters powered by wind and solar energy, through contracts with companies that operate in the local area, close to the ports where the vessels will be moored. There, the Ships can be reloaded and have their load changed.
About Yara Marine
Yara Marine Technologies has been a reference in the pollutant emission reduction industry since 2010, and until then has become one of the largest suppliers in the world of high quality purification systems in wind energy, with approximately 400 systems installed, making tons of CO2 are not issued.
