GREEN HYDROGEN GENERATION
GREEN HYDROGEN GENERATION
Electrolyser + Compressor
Excess solar energy is used to convert desalinated seawater into green hydrogen (H2) gas. The gas is then compressed to 300 bar.

ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION
Fuel Cells
Fuel cells convert the hydrogen back to electricity whenever energy is needed for propulsion or living onboard. The only emissions are pure water and thermal heat used to cover onboard hot water supply and heating.
The Technology
A powerful zero-emissions catamaran
We understand that true freedom does not accept compromises. That is why we built AQUON One with a holistic approach. The solar yacht makes its own renewable energy on board, can store that energy over long periods of time, and powers its two fuel cell electric engines free from any emissions. The smart catamaran is built to be extremely energy efficient and offers true independence from on-shore energy supply.
State-of-art communication technology
AQUON One is a place to live, work, and stay connected without constraints. The smart ship is equipped with modern communication technology and high-speed internet that powers IOT-enabled devices.
Solar panels
With 64 m2 of monocrystalline solar panels, AQUON One makes its own renewable energy on board at an output of more than 75 kWh/day in summertime. Thus, this solar yacht can be energy autarch, providing more independence from on-shore electricity supply.
Electric tender
When cruising, the electric tender is pulled up and tucked inbetween the two hulls, organically forming part of the catamaran hull to increase aerodynamics. While at anchor, the electric tenders offer the freedom to explore the area, using the green solar energy produced on board AQUON One.
Zero-emission drive system
AQUON One’s two electric engines (one per hull) are powered by fuel cells which turn the stored green hydrogen into electricity – the only emission in this process is hot water vapor which is used on board for hot water generation. There is no diesel fumes or vibrations from a diesel generator. The electric engines allow silent cruising, independent from on-shore electricity supply.
Automated window shading
Automated window shading is one of the many components of the smart energy system that make AQUON One highly energy efficient.
Optimized hull
The optimized hull of AQUON One achieves the perfect balance between energy efficiency, speed, comfort and space, safety and seaworthiness. It is designed for optimum efficiency at a cruising speed of 6 knots, resulting in a range of over 800 nautical miles.
Waste and black water management
AQUON One separates black and grey water and has an on-board water treatment system. The eco-yacht also sets new standards in waste management.

Why hydrogen?
Sustainable
Long-term energy storage
Independence
Increased cruising range
Hydrogen is much lighter than fossil fuels or batteries, increasing the efficiency of our electric yacht and thus the cruising range.
Zero-emission
The only exhaust from AQUON One’s fuel cells is clean water vapor making the propulsion completely emission-free.
Silence
Onboard fuel cells power the electric motors silently, reducing noise pollution for the marine environment and providing additional comfort for people on board.
