World’s First-hydrogen Powered Yacht With A Fully Integrated Laboratory Will Study Mediterranean Pollution ScienceDaily (July 9, 2009) Zero CO2 is the world’s first-hydrogen powered yacht with a fully integrated laboratory to study pollution in the Mediterranean.
The objective of the Zero CO2 project is to sail around the Mediterranean using a clean carbon-free auxiliary motor (gasoline powered motors are commonly used in yachts for all port manoeuvres). The yacht will be presented for the first time at the Paris Boat Show in December 2009. A 12m craft built by the RM shipyard of La Rochelle, the yacht will be equipped with an electric motor driven by a hydrogen fuel cell, developed by CEA Liten of Grenoble
