WATTS UP WITH THAT GREEN TECH From
ZEPPELIN BACK TO LIFE?
Start-Up ‘H2 Clipper’ Green Dirigible Boasts 170-Ton Payload, 7500 M3 Cargo Space
Green hydrogen powered dirigible could revolutionize long haul cargo transport worldwide.
More than 80 years ago ...the dramatic, fiery explosion of the Hindenburg spelled the end of dirigibles as a mode of transport.
Green resurrection
That may be about to change.
In the latest video, Die kalte Sonne’s Energieschau features California start-up H2 Clipper...able to “deliver goods directly from a factory in China to a distribution center in the U.S. in less than 36 hours…
The cargo transport cost: between $0.177 to $0.247 per ton, which is “less than one-quarter the cost of traditional air freighters”. Moreover, using today’s modern navigation technology, it could transport unmanned."”...
The unmanned bit may be critical to the H2 Clipper business model as flying 170 tons transpacific @ seventeen cents a ton works out to a cash flow of 84 cents an hour.
The WUWT commentariat failed to notice the disparity.
