"X": The World's First Electric Tanker to Transport Clean Energy Across Oceans
PowerX, a battery startup company, has designed and developed the world's first electric battery tanker, "X," to transport clean energy by sea. The 140-meter-long electric-powered battery tanker can hold a total of 241 MWh of renewable energy with 96 marine-grade LFP batteries. The electric tanker will help connect grids, offshore wind farms, and islands with renewable energy where underground cables aren't ideal due to seismic activity, deep water, etc. PowerX aims to complete its first ship by 2025, with field testing planned to begin the following year.
