UK-based wind propulsion provider BAR Technologies has called for a broader, more inclusive debate on the future of shipping fuels, highlighting that wind is an indispensable component of these discussions.

Last week, UMAS and the UCL Energy Institute’s Shipping and Oceans Research Group released a new study. The report found that poor access to funding and higher costs of capital in developing countries could almost double the prices of e-fuels they produce, compared to developed economies—even when renewable energy resources such as onshore wind and solar are superior.
