About us
To begin with, Energy Observer is the name of the first hydrogen-powered, zero-emission vessel to be self-sufficient in energy, advocating and serving as a laboratory for ecological transition. Now an organisation that combines expeditions and innovations, Energy Observer is exploring and developing solutions that prove that another future for energy is possible, an optimistic future, which is more respectful of the planet and those who live here.
Criss-crossing the oceans in a bid to go out and meet the people who are coming up with sustainable solutions on a daily basis, Energy Observer has become a movement, a round the world Odyssey, where every stopover is an opportunity to learn, understand and share positive energies.
