A vision for the future for the waters: electricity, gas and wind
The Finnish Broadcasting Corporation (YLE) published the article on the future of boating “Boating is also moving to hybrids and electric motors, although there will be no emission limits - internal combustion engines are already banned in many countries” 16.7. In addition to the automotive sector, electricity, gas and wind are also expected to be more important energy sources than fossil fuels in the future. Gas and hybrid engines have already risen alongside internal combustion engines in larger boats, while electric engines are a quieter option in smaller boats. The future of sailing will also change as electric motors are introduced alongside wind power to make the voyage more efficient. Read more about wind-powered boating from here.
