Bill Gates was the first in the world to buy hydrogen powered ships

Bill Gates is famous for being very concerned about environmental issues, spending a lot of money to invest in clean technologies. Recently, he ordered the Sinot Aqua, which costs $ 644 million, the world’s first hydrogen-powered vessel. The ship is 112m long, can accommodate 14 guests and 31 crew members, has a gym and is powered by a super cool 1MW engine of hydrogen gas.

The train even uses gel heating pads to warm passengers instead of firewood or coal. It does not have a high speed, only about 19.6MPH but can travel more than 6000km without stopping, enough to run on many different seas. It still has to be equipped with a diesel engine as a backup, as hydrogen fueling terminals are still quite rare.

This product will be launched in 2024, or 4 years from now. Now the company is experiencing some criticism, saying that with such a large amount of money, users should have bought more optimal, ‘green’ transportation vehicles instead of being a product just for enjoyment. . But looking at the other side, Bill Gates’s investment in this ship is like saying that he is very supportive of green products, whether it be small projects to large, luxurious ships.
