The yacht’s aluminum, made from scrap like license plates and cans, cuts its CO2 footprint to under 2 kg CO2/kg.

A substantial 55-foot solar-electric sailing catamaran has been unveiled by German yacht design and engineering studio iYacht GmbH.

Named Hu’chu 55, the firm claims the vessel represents a significant leap forward in eco-friendly design. Its body is derived from over 90 percent scrap metal.
