Energy Observer
Energy Observer is the first vessel in the world to both generate and be powered by hydrogen.
Energy Observer is the first hydrogen vessel, aiming for the energy autonomy, with zero greenhouse gas emissions or fine particles. This former race boat, an outstanding competitor has been fully transformed into a vessel of the future, powered by electric propulsion thanks to a mix of renewable energies and a hydrogen production system that produces carbon-free hydrogen on board using seawater.Energy Observer is also an odyssey around the world on the search for innovative solutions for the environment. 6 years, 50 countries, and 101 stopovers, to go and meet people who are designing tomorrow's future, and to prove that a cleaner world is possible.More than a vessel, Energy Observer is a media platform providing positive and inspiring content in favor of innovative solutions.Currently testing and optimizing the technologies on board the floating laboratory in extreme environments. Field experience will enable large-scale application.
