After absorbing, filtering and improving the information provided by previous models, Sauter Carbon Offset Design and Ned Ship Group declared that they are working on developing a product which might be considered, in a few years, "the fastest and greenest superyacht in the world."

Emax E-Volution is worth approximately $40 million and besides jaw-dropping features, essential elements in the architecture of a luxurious item, the megayacht also comes with quite a few earth-friendly innovations.

It relies on 2 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy, coming from clean sources such as the sun, wind and waves and it is equipped with a battery able to storage up to 3 MW of power.

This vessel is supported with energy coming from MTU 2000 Series Tier 4i engines, the “greenest marine diesels” which are available at this point in time.

Furthermore, the luxurious yacht has the ability to do unlimited net-zero cruising at 14 knots. Even when it reaches 28 knots, the vessel produces half of the amount of CO2 which would be expected from a standard boat, in these particular conditions.

This is anything but a standard boat, and the wine storage, jacuzzi, cinema room big enough for 20 guest, equipped with a huge flat screen, testify in its favor.
