   @mtyka I wonder what this means for the cost and carbon footprint of international shipping and cruise ships?

     @thorne @mtyka If they can have a 50% performance improvement for the same fuel and if it's in the power range where they usually operate, hopefully that would translate to a 30% savings in fuel and CO₂?

     @thorne @mtyka Yeah, the brief blurb by Time by the end of the year called it a 30% improvement. And either way I presume that's still in the lab, and real-world constraints might eat even more of it. 😕

     @clacke @mtyka yeah, that’s the clickbait, but the numbers were actually waaaay less impressive.
