The naval industry is focused on tackling the challenge of decarbonization, and Cargill is at the forefront of this effort.

an Dieleman, President of Cargill’s Naval Transport Unit, emphasizes the importance of leading the change towards a more sustainable future.

“A technology like WindWings does not come without risks, and as an industry leader, in partnership with the visionary shipowner Mitsubishi Corporation, we are not afraid to invest, take these risks, and be transparent with our learnings to help our partnerships in the naval transition to a more sustainable future,” he said.

The partnership with Mitsubishi Corporation and BAR Technologies reflects the commitment to investing in innovative solutions, even in the face of challenges.

According to the companies, in the coming months, a rigorous monitoring process will be implemented to closely evaluate the performance of WindWings.

This monitoring aims to further enhance the project, operation, and performance of the sails, ensuring they reach their maximum potential in terms of efficiency and emission reduction.

Thus, the departure of the ship Pyxis Ocean marks just the beginning of the journey toward decarbonization.

About WindWings Technology

WindWings are modernizing the naval industry, representing a significant advancement in the pursuit of more efficient and sustainable shipping.

This project received financial support from the renowned Horizon 2020 research and innovation program of the European Union, being a concrete response to the growing need for emission reduction.

One of the main features of WindWings is their ability to harness wind energy to propel ships in a clean and efficient manner.

In addition to their contribution to sustainability, WindWings offer significant gains in terms of efficiency and operational savings.

On the Greek island of Ithaca, archaeologists have found what may be a sanctuary dedicated to the legendary Odysseus, with inscriptions bearing his name and votive offerings that span from the Mycenaean to the Hellenistic era.

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

After two years of internal discussions, Paraguay has finally regulated the law that opens the country to foreign technology and service companies with tax incentives that promise to create thousands of jobs and change the economy.

Map reveals how the Earth may look in 250 million years: continents will reunite in the Last Pangaea, 92% of the planet could become uninhabitable for mammals, and Spain appears among the rare possible exceptions.

Why fighter pilots never return after ejecting: the seat launches the body at 600 km/h in 1 second, compresses the spine, reduces G tolerance, and leads to medical disqualification, not punishment.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

The Moon has essential rare earth minerals for 99% of the electronics you use in your daily life and a future fuel that is almost nonexistent on Earth: now the race to explore the satellite has turned into a global competition among more than 70 countries.

Scientists reveal an impossible artifact for its time made with iron from space, and the discovery reignites a historical debate about the Bronze Age in China.

The humanoid robot G1 has gained a new digital brain that has transformed it into a true domestic worker: it learns by observing the environment, interprets objectives, and executes complete tasks without receiving step-by-step instructions.

They seemed like common bones, but scientists were surprised to find a relic over 12,000 years old that dates back to before the Bronze Age.

The factory shows how PHC piles and precast tubes are made; steel turns into a welded cage, high-strength concrete enters the mold, spins in centrifugation, cures in steam, and is ready in hours.
