Our Scope
This year, our goal is to win the Monaco Sea Lab 2025 with a boat powered by liquid hydrogen.
Our Design
This year, our boat will be specifically designed for the challenges of the Monaco Sea Lab 2025, focusing on endurance, speed, and maneuverability. With a 7.25-meter-long and 2.2-meter-wide hull, it is built to excel in all aspects of the race. Powered by liquid hydrogen, the boat harnesses the fuel’s high energy density for long-distance travel while its advanced design reduces drag and optimizes performance. As we look to the future, we envision a maritime industry that fully embraces sustainable technologies, setting new standards for eco-friendly practices. Our participation in this race is a significant step toward demonstrating that liquid hydrogen can play a vital role in shaping a greener, more sustainable future for maritime transportation.
Our History
Our journey began in 2005 with the creation of our first solar-powered boat. After years of innovation, we have proven the potential of solar energy by winning our first World Championship title in 2019. But we didn’t stop there. In 2020, we embraced a new challenge: compressed hydrogen. By developing the world’s first foiling hydrogen-powered boat, we showed that hydrogen could be a viable and powerful alternative to fossil fuels. In 2023, this innovation led us to victory at the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, where we became World Champions in the Open Sea Class.
Hydrogen’s true strength lies in its endurance. To showcase this, in 2024 we focused on applying hydrogen fuel to a seaworthy vessel, demonstrating its capability to cover long distances. Last year, we made history as the first hydrogen-powered boat to cross the North Sea!
The Problem
The maritime industry is vast and diverse, with varied energy demands that no single solution can fully address. As part of the broader energy transition, we recognize the need for diverse innovations. That is why we are expanding our focus, exploring alternative hydrogen sources that can complement existing technologies. By driving innovation across multiple fuels, we aim to help create a sustainable multi-fuel future that meets the diverse needs of the maritime sector.
Our solution
This year, we will design, build, test, and race a boat powered by liquid hydrogen. With its high energy density, liquid hydrogen offers a practical and scalable solution for the maritime industry. To demonstrate its power, we will participate in the Monaco Sea Lab 2025. Our goal is to become World Champions once again. However, it is about more than just a title; it is about showing what is possible and setting a new standard for maritime energy.
Together with our partners, we are not only steering toward a more sustainable future, we are here to Fuel the Future!
