Wind-assisted propulsion is classified within energy efficiency indices as an "energy harvesting" technology, given its utilization of wind to directly augment thrust. Nevertheless, operational costs remain subject to weather-related uncertainties. However, the advantages of sailing can be amplified through the application of weather routing algorithms, which can chart optimal routes tailored to specific vessels. Nonetheless, the widespread adoption of wind-assisted propulsion systems (WAPSs) faces several hurdles, including the imperative need for reliable and efficient technologies capable of functioning effectively across diverse environmental conditions.

While there is a prospect for wind propulsion systems to become more cost-effective in the future, these presently represent substantial investments. The absence of a standardized approach to designing, constructing, and integrating wind-assisted propulsion systems on board vessels makes it challenging to attain the economies of scale and consistent production required to reduce costs. Wind-assisted propulsion systems is expected to boom over the next decade as it acts as a substitute to fuel types such as green methanol, biofuels, green hydrogen and others.

Market Lifecycle Stage

The wind-assisted propulsion is in its initial stage of commercialization, while some of the technologies, such as hull form, are in their developing stage. The ecosystem of the wind-assisted propulsion market comprises wind-assisted propulsion manufacturers, technology providers, ship-building companies, and shipowners. The market is still developing, with Europe at the forefront, followed by other regions such as Asia-Pacific and Japan, China, Rest-of-the-World, North America, and the U.K.

Industrial Impact

Sea shipping is a cornerstone of global trade and the primary mode for transporting goods across the world. However, the maritime industry has long been recognized as a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, largely due to the use of fossil fuels for propulsion. In light of the urgent need to combat climate change and reduce carbon emissions, the maritime sector is experiencing a profound transformation. Wind energy, harnessed through innovative technologies such as kite propulsion systems and other wind-assisted solutions, is poised to play a pivotal role in helping the marine shipping industry achieve its ambitious goals for GHG emission reduction. By tapping into the inexhaustible and clean power of the wind, the maritime sector can significantly enhance its sustainability and reduce its carbon footprint. This transition aligns with global efforts to create a more environmentally responsible and sustainable future, making wind energy a crucial ally in the journey toward greener and more efficient maritime transportation.
