Roughly 90% of the world’s traded goods are transported via ship. It is highly cost-effective and far more carbon-efficient than rail or air transport over long distances and yet the industry still accounts for over 3% of global carbon dioxide emissions. bound4blue is working to lower this by delivering automated, wind-assisted propulsion systems that harness renewable energy as a turn-key solution to ship owners and operators looking to decrease their pollutant emissions and fuel dependency. Ocean Born Foundation is proud to have invested in the disruptive technology that bound4blue has developed to shift the shipping industry towards harnessing renewable energy. This is an example of a scalable, high-impact initiative to reduce fossil fuel consumption and dangerous emissions in a sector, potentially by up to 40%.
