Giant oil tanker goes electric with massive 3.5 MWh battery pack

The project to build the first all-electric oil tanker is moving forward, and it is going to be equipped with a massive 3.5 MWh battery pack

Oil tankers and cargo ships are some of the biggest and most polluting vehicles on the planet.

Some of the world’s largest cargo ships emit pollution comparable to millions of passenger cars put together. The heavy fuel oil that they burn has high sulfur content, and therefore it is an important part of the world’s transportation industry that needs to transition to being battery-powered.

Last year, a consortium of Japanese companies announced that they were teaming up to develop the world’s first all-electric tanker.

One of the companies, Asahi Tanker, announced that they ordered two of the new electric tankers and they plan to put them in operations as soon as March 2022 and March 2023.

Asahi commented:

The two tankers will achieve zero emissions of CO2, NOx, SOx, and particulates thanks to their all-electric core energy system, dramatically reducing their environmental impact. In addition, their reduced noise and vibration will create a more comfortable work environment for the crewmembers and limit noise pollution in the bay and its surroundings.

Recently, Corvus Energy was chosen as the battery pack supplier for the project, and it is one of the most interesting parts of this new vessel.

It takes a lot of energy to move a 62-meter-long ship.

Corvus’s battery pack will have a capacity of almost 3.5 MWh:

Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) was awarded the contract for the ship’s propulsion system September of 2020 and will integrate the 3,480 kWh Orca ESS from Corvus Energy to power the vessel.

Ironically, the all-electric vessels will be used to carry fuels for other vessels.

Interestingly, the vessel will also have a secondary use. Since its battery pack is so big, it will make its battery power available to emergency services in the case of a natural disaster in Tokyo.

The biggest mystery for some people is, "How does this big guy stay afloat and avoid keeling over?"

Cruise ships are built to withstand 50-ft waves. Such huge waves are a rarity, and a typical ship is unlikely to come across one of those during its career.
But still, cruise ships are surprisingly well-prepared for all bad weather Mother Nature has in her bag of tricks.
They're designed to handle even severe storms during the hurricane season!

Sockeye Salmon with Chipotle Honey Glaze :

This quick, tasty recipe is ideal for busy weeknights -
and lazy Sundays.
Vibrant Sockeye salmon is quickly grilled and then glazed with a simple blend of local honey and smoky chipotles.

INGREDIENTS

- 1/2 cup local honey
- 2-3 tbsp. puréed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce*
- 1½ pounds Alaska Sockeye Salmon, fresh or thawed
- heavy-duty aluminum foil
- cooking spray
- kosher salt and pepper
- 1 lime

DIRECTIONS :

- Remove Alaska Sockeye salmon from the refrigerator 15 minutes
before cooking. Heat grill to 375°F.
- Stir honey and chipotle purée* in a small bowl until well
combined. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
- Cut 2 pieces of wide, heavy-duty aluminum foil about 6-inches
longer than the salmon side. Stack the foil pieces (shiny side
down) on a baking sheet and spray generously with cooking
spray. Place the salmon, skin side down, in the middle of the foil.
Fold the foil sides and ends up (1 to 2-inches) to make a shallow
pan around the salmon, leaving at least a 1-inch margin around
the fish. Season salmon with salt and pepper.
- Carefully transfer the foil pan to the center of the preheated grill.
Do not cover the salmon or close the foil over the salmon. Close
grill cover and cook for 5 minutes. Spread the glaze on the
salmon (1 tbsp. per salmon portion or 1/3 cup per salmon side).
Close grill and continue to cook about 5 to 7 minutes more. Cook
just until fish is lightly translucent in the center – it will finish
cooking from retained heat. Remove from the grill and let rest a
few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with lime zest and serve with lime wedges.

Variation:
- Salmon can also be roasted in an oven preheated to 375°F or pan-seared and finished in the oven.
- Cook just until lightly translucent in the center; be sure to let the salmon rest a few minutes before serving.

* Purée a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce with a hand blender, blender or food processor until smooth. Freeze any remaining purée for another use.
