Ehhh, it's surprisingly practical to pack a bit of a ship with batteries to get 3~5 days of range, at least for ships as efficient per unit mass an an Emma Maersk and above. What's less practical is the grid to support the fast charger that can recharge it in the ~10 hours it takes to unload and reload it. Trans-atlantic battery container ship is technically feasible.
It won't be economic until you charge the oil burners loads for the CO2, and even then it might be that some kind of non-carbon burner of fuel cell beats it. Looking at ammonia concepts, for example. |
