While a wind-powered cargo vessel may seem like a 19 th Century idea, the Grain de Sail may be a herald of a greener future rather than a nostalgic nod to the past. This could be established alongside other technical measures like a low-carbon standard for shipping fuel to improve uptake of zero-emission fuels.

Many are not aware that deserts are a net carbon sink, providing some relief from the increase in greenhouse gases. This will be problematic while carbon emissions continue to increase, and world governments will need to do something about it in the future. Deserts are also useful sources of wind power.
