The idea is to substitute half the fuel required to run a ship by the use of rotor sails to get energy from the wind and solar panels fit for marine environment to get energy from the sun. The use of rotor sails along with flexible solar panels onboard merchant vessels will help curb the carbon emissions. The temperatures are generally high around 43-45 degrees in a well-ventilated engine room from around 100 degrees of actual temperature. The rest of the heat generated is channeled to the surrounding through the exhausts; instead of dumping this heat to the atmosphere we can reduce the pollution from it by channelizing it for steam formation, to aid in the working of boilers onboard vessels. Installing energy efficient cycles onboard ships for crew to paddle and generate energy and from the mechanical work done and further storing that energy in batteries can aid in the internal lighting systems on the ship.
