Those exhaust filters are going to need to be changed often so you will go through those quite often. Therefore you use more energy and material to manufacture those. Also batteries are no where near net zero and most mining operations for minerals used in batteries have abhorent conditions. They also utilize child labor and destroy the surrounding ecosystems conpletely.

Except that none of this technology has been or is ever planned to be installed in a boat. It is a research project funded by the German Government to install the system in one of Lurssen's production halls, not a boat. So a rich and profitable private company which produces extravagant luxury yachts for billionaires is being given taxpayer funds to save on its electricity bill. Its a typical vapourware boondoggle for stupid politicians and greedy private entities to green-wash themselves and each other - nobody involved expects any of this to actually result in a viable product to sell.

Methanol is available at virtually any port already today. It is NOT sadly (yet) net zero as it is usually manufactured from natural gas. There are several R&D pilot plants being built or on the drawing boards to make methanol from renewable electricity that will literally pull CO2 from the atmosphere to make the fuel. THOSE plants will be producing net zero methanol. An enterprising yacht owner could invest in one of those pilot plants sufficient to produce with that plant the methanol equal to what their yacht consumes and put it on the market normally, then purchase methanol from whatever source their yacht requires and their net carbon emission for their yacht plus their pilot plant would still be net zero. I'd love to see such a yacht 'named' Net Zero.

Great to see the yachting world is taking an interest in the impact on the environment. However, I think, given the cost to the environment per passenger mile, both yachts and private jets should have a luxury tax that is NON-EXEMPT, meaning no matter where it is registered the owner would pay that tax for fuel. Say $4-$5.00 per gal. The tax would be used to help fund mass transit since it is regular folks who need an affordable way to get to work.

Okay, finished the video and WOW, I'm loving that Lurssen fuel cell tech! Have they published any figures about efficiency vs. conventional diesel? I know the goal is ultimately net zero emissions, but I would be interested in a rough comparison of this system and a diesel in terms of range. Thanks as always for a great video, David!

@panpiper Жыл бұрын

I too would like to see some actual numbers. That said, hybrid electric systems ARE inherently more efficient with their fuel burning than conventional systems, by a nice margin, especially for hotel load. How much of a margin likely varies from ship to ship due to design choices. Hybrid systems are more expensive than conventional systems in upfront costs, so not all are created equal.

@pistonburner6448 Жыл бұрын

It depends on so many variables that basically no-one would get anything useful out of it. Especially laymen. A great first step would be to explain that efficiency is not a valid nor rational term to use in these matters at all. "Efficiency" is a nonsense term which has no use at all. On yachts, just like in cars etc. in a simplified sense the ONLY things that matter are: 1. Overall CO2 emissions 2. Cost

@pistonburner6448 Жыл бұрын

Finding numbers for those two variables is incredibly complex and requires going through a vast amount of stages, processes, etc. And those figures depend on huge variance at each stage, and there are never any fixed numbers, even nearly for them really. It all depends on how the fuels are produce and from which raw materials, how they are used, who uses them in which way in which types of vehicles which require how much CO2 to be manufactured, etc... And the cost is an incredibly important variable. For example with electric cars the cost is so massive that the cost alone makes them far less environmentally friendly. You have to be aware that the UN climate panel has found the wealth of a nation (/the availability of funds to invest) to be the most important, the most reliable determinant of a nation's real ability to reduce CO2 emissions. Burning up too much money on projects like forcing people into EVs can cost so much that they will never be CO2-positive overall.

@pistonburner6448 Жыл бұрын

@@panpiper Depends on a lot of variables, but for certain we can't make a set-in-stone statement that hybrid electric systems are more efficient. It depends on the cost, the vessel, how it's used, how much it's used. And one major factor is how sophisticated the non-hybrid-electric systems you compare it to are. One of the main mistakes non-scientifically-minded people make is comparing old yacts' ancient systems to the newest and best single hybrid system. That's a false comparison. It's perfectly _possible_ for a non-hybrid system to be superior with the use of sophisticated thermal energy recovery systems, extremely efficient direct mechanical energy use, etc. And above all with lower costs. Lower costs is something people constantly forget, as there is always the opportunity cost to consider. If you can save by not spending on an expensive hybrid system to maybe reduce emissions/consumption eg. 5%, you may be able to invest that money into something else which reduces emissions/consumption far more over that yacht's lifetime in the way that specific yacht is used.

@pistonburner6448 Жыл бұрын

Just to give an example why efficiency is totally irrelevant: Take for example a diesel-electric yacht burning diesel and compare it to a purely combustion engine yacht burning LNG (liquefied natural gas) or any other biofuel, e-fuel etc. The diesel-electric yacht may burn a few percent less fuel during its operation, but it might cost a lot and that fuel is still fossil fuel and burning it emits a certain (large) amount of CO2. Compare that to LNG which when burned may consume that eg. 5% more fuel in quantity, but since the resulting CO2 emissions from that fuel are much lower you can burn a lot more of it and still be much lower in emissions. Now think of filling those LNG tanks with not fossil natural gas, but biomethane instead, which can theoretically be _negative_ in CO2 emissions (as in theory you are reducing methane emissions, and methane is many times more harmful of a greenhouse gas so gathering up that methane and burning it is better, it only releases CO2 which has been gathered from the atmosphere so adds no new CO2). You might be able to burn twice, three, four times the amount of biomethane and still be far lower in CO2 emissions than when operating the world's most "efficient" diesel electric hybrid drive system. And on top of it you might be far lower in costs, allowing for investing in other measures which also reduce CO2 emissions. = "efficiency" is irrelevant. Only the total amount of CO2 emissions from the whole system over the whole vessel's lifetime and the costs matter.

@RandomGuyRandomNumber Жыл бұрын

The video is on his main channel, from 3 years ago: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jcWUrJdmyNnUkmg.html. You should ignore David Seal's description of water being the product of polymerisation as less than ideal. The teak alternative product is called TESUMO and it was a three-way joint venture between yacht decking company WolzNautic, a Bremen-based shipyard (apparently Lurssen) and a German university. The concept is not new - others have been producing similar resin-infused sofwoods for years. For example, KEBONY, which has been in full scale production since 2009, based on a patent purchased in 1997; and LIGNIA. Cork has also been used as the basis for a resin-infused decking material for decades, especially on commercial vessels. But note that Lurssen do not promote their involvement with Tesumo on the website or anywhere else that I have found, and when asked by an environmental activist organisation about the future of teak usage on superyachts after restrictions were increased on teak imports from Myanmar, Lurssen's response was "No comment". If I were serious about environmental issues, I would have mentioned that I had already developed an alternative to teak, and not ignored such a golden opportunity to promote it, wouldn't you ? It's just more of your typical corporate green-washing being lapped up by often well-meaning but naive and gullible armchair experts, only to be quietly forgotten and replaced by the next buzzword. Superyachts and environmental friendship are two mutally exclusive concepts, and anybody claiming otherwise has a vested interest.

The cost of methanol is roughly on par with that of gasoline. It is basically wood alcohol. It is not some sort of rare, hard to produce thing.

So this system stores liquified pressurised methanol, converts it to gaseous hydrogen, burns the hydrogen in a catalytic convertor to produce electricity which charges batteries which provide power to run the yacht. That doesn't sound as if it is overly complicated, reliant on several rare and / or toxic elements, subject to multiple conversion losses and presents serious storage and maintenance issues. Before you even consider how the methanol is produced in the first place (hint: fossil fuels are involved). Even if one could run an entire superyacht on angels' tears and happy thoughts, it would still be the most ecologically disastrous thing ever invented by man, because 400 Gross Tonnes owned by and at the service of just one person is an ecological obscenity. Any so-called green technology is only ever used as bragging rights because there isn't anything else left to distinguish one boat from another, or there simply isn't any left of materials that used to constitute luxury on a boat so new ones have to be invented. If all the Teak in the world had not been used to plank the decks of superyachts, there would be no demand for a replacement wood to plank the decks of superyachts - see how that works ? We have already been through that cycle at least once already - Teak was once reluctantly considered a cheap alternative to Oak because all the mature Oak had been used up planking the decks of ships of the line, tea clippers and other merchantmen in the time of Empire. Stop pretending any of the people involved in producing or owning superyachts give a monkeys about the environment - if they did, they wouldn't build or own a superyacht.

Heat recovery systems are massively awesome to see Lurssen address...mad respect! Bio mass diesel also seems extremely promising too. If you are a bit of a history buff on lets say an extreme level, and look into the first days of oil production by arguably the richest family(s) in the world now; you will learn the term fossil fuel was fabricated to generate a false pretense that oil is some kind finite resource on earth so to drive up it's demand. In actuality, fossils are found near the surface and oil is found miles deeper than any fossil ever found, there is no real connection that has ever been made or proven. Oil is the second most abundant liquid on this planed and they have no real idea about its source. Also since we are on the topic of natural resources, CO2 is also a critical resource for life here also; the higher the levels of CO2 there is will yield and increase in plant life and the size of the plants; as well which in turn will net gain an almost 50% increase of O2 production as a direct result. Earth is a symbiotic system that balances itself; before so called humans roamed the planet 6000 years ago CO2 was 600 times higher than it is now; but environmentalists paid by governments and big business to generate a result, need to use cherry picked statistics to support their agenda, like the WEF's agenda 2030; for stuff like 15 minute cities, digital passports and digital currency based on a social credit system based on personal CO2 production. I encourage everyone to fact check this! If you think for a second main stream controlled search engines will help you discover the truth, you will have some serious challenges ahead. 🤫

Bio mass diesel comes with it's own problems, where it may works ok in cars, trucks and aeroplanes because these are emptied and refilled with short intervalls, here in Sweden they tested bio mass diesel for smaller boats and smaller yachts, but they had stopped just after a short time, in the bio diesel that stays a longer time in the fuel tanks there starts an organic growth of bacterias, that growth clogged everything up, and it came to several catastrophical enginge failures, which put anyone aboard at trisk on a boat with dead engines, we got no numbers published about how many accidents it's may have caused, but it ended the try at the time. Maybe we can hope theres going to be a work arround soon, that's probably easier on bigger ships than smaller boats I guess because you have engineers that can work on it aboard, but for smaller boats I don't know if I would take that risk right now going out on the sea with bio fuel that been in the fuel tanks for months.

The power density that would be needed for an all battery yacht would be SO vast as to render it centuries into the future, if ever. We are going to need a bunkerable fuel for yachts for a long time yet, and by far the best fuel for that is methanol. Pure hydrogen tanks are way too bulky and leaky, not to mention dangerous. There ARE pilot plants being worked on to produce methanol directly from renewable electricity, sea water and atmospheric carbon. It is still more expensive than making methanol from natural gas, but that is what the pilot plants are for, to research methods of making it cheaper. Meanwhile, using existing natural gas produced methanol for fuel is already still, a lot cleaner than using traditional diesel.

We used methanol in our pull truck in the 70's and 80's. Methanol has less energy per gallon than gas or diesel, however it is oxygenated so it requires less air in the air to fuel mixture meaning you can get more into the cylinder to give you more power than gas or diesel. What concerns me are storage and delivery systems on these boats. Methanol oxidizes many metals and other materials. The most concerning is it is very flammable and you cannot see it burning in daylight. Many people in racing have caught fire and no one would know they were on fire which often delayed reaction time in assisting them. I would like to know how they address the safety issues. Also, no methanol or ethanol is clean energy. It takes energy to produce it (generally fossil fuels because there isn't enough wind and solar available to produce it), it causes the destruction of many forests, it consumes large amounts of fertilizer (fossil fuels again) and it hurts food production. We might as well mention batteries while raining on the hydrogen parade. The production and disposal of batteries is as bad or worse as the production of fuel not to mention the safety hazard of large battery systems. I am glad we continue to research new power systems, however it seems more effort goes into selling the public on false idea that something is green when it really isn't.
