Description
DRIFT Energy's high-performance sailing vessels can be deployed over the horizon to harness deep ocean wind to produce green hydrogen at sea and deliver it globally.
More power
DRIFT’s inherent mobility means it can find and, importantly, stay in stronger, better conditions than traditional offshore wind technology.
More of the time
DRIFT vessels route within Goldilocks conditions, meaning they are actively working more than twice the time of offshore wind farms.
In more places
The planet is 70% ocean. DRIFT is uniquely placed to unlock this vast resource of 'free range wind energy’.
More quickly
DRIFT offers an integrated yet distributed energy asset. No waiting for a grid connection, no planning delays, no invasive technology - just build and go.
Unlike wind and solar, where it took years to build up a global manufacturing base, DRIFT leverages a globally well-established industry - shipbuilding. A flotilla of DRIFT vessels to operate worldwide could be built in a tenth of the time that it takes to plan, design and commission an offshore wind farm, meaning more green energy and less CO2 – faster.
Overview
- Generation - Modern, high-performance sailing vessels cruise around the world’s tradewinds harvesting energy from underwater turbines.
- Storage - Energy feeds an on-board Megawatt class electrolyser to produce and store Gigawatts of green hydrogen.
- Distribution - Artificial Intelligence routing algorithms keep the yachts in the optimum weather conditions ready to deliver to port.
