High-voltage pylons are masts in the high-voltage grid to which cables are attached, which transmit amounts of electrical energy over relatively large distances in the landscape. Consumers are increasingly experiencing congestion on the power grid. Especially in the polders and in older urban districts and villages, outdated parts of the power grid cannot cope with the growth in the number of solar panels. Netherlands on February 4, 2024.

Canopee, 121-Metre Long Cargo Ship - Bordeaux

Picture, taken on October 6, 2023, shows the 121-metre long cargo ship "Canopee", The Canopée is a 121-metre-long cargo ship propelled by gigantic sails. She is currently in Bordeaux and is due to load parts for the Ariane 6 rocket, bound for French Guiana. With its four 37-metre-high masts, the French vessel Canopée has a sail area of 1,500 square metres. Thanks to the combined power of its engines and the wind, this hybrid cargo ship will transport elements of the Ariane 6 rocket to French Guiana. The 121-metre vessel is manned by 11 crew members, who reported fuel savings of between 15% and 30% during trials. For its French owner, the Canopée is a precursor of less carbon-intensive maritime freight. Its large, rigid, two-part wings have their origins in aeronautics and ocean racing. A welcome innovation, given that 3 to 4% of greenhouse gases are generated by maritime traffic.Photo by Thibaud Moritz/ABACAPRESS.COM
