"..."Compared to traditional ship recycling, we're very, very low carbon," says Mr Lawrence as he explains how machinery at Leviathan's Stralsund facility on Germany's Baltic coast will be powered by electricity, not on-site fossil fuels, and that recovered steel will be transported to mills around Europe on electrified trains..."

So...by off-site fossil fuels? Sounds much better. /s

There is something seriously wrong with these people.

That they can come up with a way to create a high powered stream of water to cut metal is impressive.

But then they say in nearly the same breath that it is low carbon because it is running on electricity being generated somewhere else using fossil fuels (Some high percentage of which is lost in transmission to the site over high voltage transmission lines) so...not only is in not using less “fossil fuels” it is probably using more.
