Blue Tech Talk: Aloft Systems

Blue Tech Talk 3:

About the Company: Aloft Systems' technology allows vessels to capitalize on free and readily available wind for propulsion, reducing emissions immediately, without switching fuel, building infrastructure, or slowing down. 90% of goods worldwide travel by ship, and almost all ships are dependent on fossil fuels. By retrofitting current ships with wind propulsion and optimizing operations they can drastically reduce shipping supply chain emissions.
