The Innovations

From the 4th to the 24th of February 2023, Energy Observer Foundation's exhibition village was set "On top of positive energies" in Avoriaz. An opportunity to assess how electric and hydrogen mobility can contribute to limiting the carbon footprint of a day of skiing.

Our new interactive and immersive exhibition village was presented for the first time during "Le Paris de l'hydrogène" at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, from May 20 to 30. The highlight of the event? Lighting up the Eiffel Tower with green hydrogen.

Toyota and Energy Observer Developments (EODev), a subsidiary of Energy Observer and an incubator for affordable hydrogen mobility solutions, have jointly developed a fuel cell system integrating the fuel cell within the Toyota Miraï to equip Energy Observer, the first hydrogen ship around the world.

The fuel cell is the centrepiece of the hydrogen chain. It converts the hydrogen into electricity by reversing the electrolysis process. The system on Energy Observer was tailor-made by CEA-Liten engineers and provides 20 kW of pure electric power.

After several months touring France, and an historical conveyance around Spain and Portugal, Energy Observer is back to the shipyard for a few weeks, in la Seyne-sur-Mer.
