18 Mar 2024 --- Cargill is pioneering wind-assisted propulsion (WAP) technology on ocean vessels to cut fossil fuels and support decarbonization efforts with renewable energy. The global food corporation recently completed a six-month test using large solid wind sails on its Pyxis Ocean vessel, with the results suggesting scalability potential across the shipping industry, although integration challenges with marine systems remain. The company aims to reduce absolute GHG emissions in its operations by 10% by 2025, against a 2017 baseline, and reduce emissions from its extended supply chain by 30% per ton of product sold by 2030.
