- Smaller savings can be profitably had now, but bigger ones will need regulation

Cargill decarbonisation specialist Chris Hughes said modest efficiency gains from wind-assisted propulsion can be had today, but the high capex and long payback periods mean the tipping point for bigger investment has yet to be reached
