AQUON One’s Green Hydrogen Energy System Explained
AQUON One is the first solar and green hydrogen-powered motor catamaran. This video explains the smart yacht’s zero-emissions green energy system.
The sustainable yacht AQUON One produces its green energy. Its eco-propulsion runs with silent fuel-cell electric engines and allows more independence in cruising:
AQUON One is a solar ship that produces renewable energy via photovoltaic cells. Utilizing electrolysis, energy and water transform into green hydrogen as an energy carrier and green hydrogen fuel. Specifically, the hydrogen is reconverted into electricity through fuel cells, powering the silent electric engines and other electric appliances aboard, allowing AQUON One to be energetically self-sufficient for days. Therefore, the only exhaust of the energy system is pure and clean water vapor. Additionally, this gets used on board, and it eliminates diesel fumes or loud engine noises.
The development of the energy system is a true team effort with great partners:
OST – Ostschweizer Fachhochschule
Zentrum für Sonnenenergie und Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Württemberg ZSW
CSEM
DNV GL
