The OceansLab project, led by British sailor Phil Sharp, is pioneering the world's first hydrogen-powered racing boat to demonstrate the efficiency of clean energy technologies in extreme ocean races. The 60-foot racing yacht, OceansLab, designed to compete in The Ocean Race, integrates innovative hydrogen-electric systems, green hydrogen, solar panels, hydrogenerators, and lithium-ion batteries, marking a significant step towards a clean maritime future. Endorsed by clean energy pioneer Bertrand Piccard, OceansLab aims to showcase the advantages of renewable energies in terms of performance and sustainability.
The onboard technologies include a hydrogen power module, PV solar panels, and recyclable composite materials, enabling the yacht to sail without fossil fuels. The system offers energy security through multiple renewable energy sources and zero emissions for propulsion and auxiliary power. OceansLab seeks a lead partner to support the project's ambitions and collaboration in global race events, emphasizing the importance of advancing clean energy technologies in the marine environment and beyond. With a focus on reducing emissions and protecting oceans, OceansLab invites organizations to join the project for a cleaner and more sustainable maritime future.
