Wind Shipping - The Role of Wind Propulsion in Global Transportation | with Gavin Allwright, International Wind Ship Association

Shipping is the backbone of global trade – yet the industry
remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels, making it a major
contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. While the International
Maritime Organization (IMO) has acknowledged the urgency, the
transformation to renewable energy based transportation is still
in its early stages.


In this episode, we talk to Gavin Allwright, Secretary General of
the International Windship Association (IWSA). Together, we
explore:


* The current state of global shipping and its environmental
impact
* The historic and modern role of wind-powered vessels
* Innovative concepts for the industry – from renewable fuels to
wind-assisted propulsion
* Key barriers, economic opportunities, and the global policy
landscape
