"It's our job to prove that it's possible," Jourdan said aboard the new Grain de Sail II cargo carrier as it sailed off the French port of Saint-Malo one recent autumn day. He emphasized the importance of demonstrating the viability of wind-powered shipping.
"For me, it's just logical, you know? Like the petrol is limited quantity and the wind is not," Jourdan expressed, highlighting the sustainability aspect of relying on wind energy over finite fossil fuels.
"We want to not only reduce the carbon footprint, we want to kill it," said Jacques Barreau, co-founder of the Grain de Sail firm. He emphasized their commitment to eliminating carbon emissions entirely.
Modern tech is supercharging sailboats, with clean vessels like Grain de Sail II proving that large cargo ships can operate efficiently while harnessing wind energy.
