A hydrogen-powered ferry service across the Bristol Channel is being explored by a council in Wales. Swansea Council has held initial meetings with officials in Devon and Cornwall about the idea.
It's hoped the service would boost tourism in the West Country. The proposals would need to identify whether seaside towns in Devon and Cornwall could accommodate ferries, but could be that interested parties make a joint bid for funding in the future according to WalesOnline.
Rob Stewart, the leader of Swansea Council, said: “This would be a massive boost for tourism and business – to think you could cut your travel time to Devon and Cornwall by half, and of course, it would have environmental benefits too: taking cars off the road and introducing green-powered ferries.”
