It may sound like science fiction, but it's not. The Hyperloop Institute of Technology claims that this new transportation system, a hybrid between a train and an airplane, "is key to sustainable long-distance transportation and could decisively contribute to achieving the greenhouse gas reduction target set by the European Commission for 2030 and 2050."

But, what is Hyperloop? It is a transportation system for passengers and goods based on capsules that levitate inside low-pressure tunnels. By minimizing air and ground friction, it allows for speeds exceeding 1,000 km/h with minimal energy consumption and zero direct emissions.

The concept was first mentioned by Tesla's creator, Elon Musk, in 2012, but the idea for this transportation innovation was conceived by engineer and physicist Robert Goddard (1882 - 1945) in 1909 when he proposed the idea of a vacuum train.

Hyperloop could be the key to solving two pressing logistical challenges: reducing delivery times and the pollution generated by the transportation of goods. Through this technology, it would be possible to move cargo between two or more logistics centers at high speeds, thereby reducing the transportation impact on logistics.

Naturally, there are still years of development ahead before this transportation technology becomes a reality. However, we are not talking about science fiction but rather a real possibility that would allow us to fulfill commitments to reduce the impact of climate change.
