Superyacht News: Zero Carbon Megayacht Sauter Carbon


A hybrid craft combining solar and electric power with Mercedes-Benz & BlueTec clean diesel engines.
Richard Sauter, the head of design department said:
“Transcendence is the Carbon Offset Alternative to comparable Hi-performance Megayachts. Her overall size (49m) and maximum speed (25knots) are the same, but alas, her Carbon Footprint is far smaller, often reaching zero”. As a Carbon Offset Megayacht, Transcendence is a potential 4,000 ton per year Certified Carbon Offset Project.
Solar cells, KER and Plug-in sources of energy charge a Lithium ion storage system that runs all Hotel services including AC, day and night, The same Lithium UPS allows Transcendence to achieve her maximum speed under peak loads or to navigate in and out of harbors with Zero emissions.
