The Innovations

EODev presented its land-based hydrogen power generator and maritime range extender in operation on the industrial site of its partner and manufacturer ENERIA, on Thursday, September 17, in the presence of its shareholders. The products developed by the start-up meet the objectives of the "France Hydrogen plan”.

The closing of this first round of funding will accelerate the industrialization and commercialization of the solutions developed by EODev around the latest hydrogen technologies and meet the challenges of the energy transition.

Our catamaran left the Bahamas on 15th July to set sail for Martinique, where she arrived on 28th July. A navigation of more than 1,500 miles carried out in one go with difficult weather conditions.

Organized by the Yacht Club de Monaco, this event is unique in the world as it demonstrates the true commitment of researchers, future engineers, and professionals to carbon-free yachting. And hydrogen solutions were largely rewarded!

Only consume what we are capable to producing, and no more than what nature can give us: that's what the boat and crew manage to do on a daily basis!

While the crew of Energy Observer continues to navigate the Atlantic without being able to set foot on land, another team is holding its breath: that of Energy Observer Developments (EODev), whose REXH2 is currently sailing on the first hydrogen vessel around the world.

Energy Observer’s first transatlantic passage, from Finistère to Martinique, served as a test bed for this year’s key innovations in renewable energies aboard the floating laboratory.

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.

During the “Hydrogen, the Right Move at the Right Time” day, organized by AFHYPAC at the “Maison de la chimie”, Energy Observer announces the launch of Energy Observer Developments’ industrial activities, thus confirming its desire to deploy clean systems for everyone.

During the Monaco Solar & Energy Boat Challenge, Energy Observer announces the launch of Energy Observer Developments. The ambition of this new phase of the project is to propose disruptive, innovative, optimized and accessible solutions to various maritime and port communities.

Energy Observer chose complementary storage systems: short-term storage in a set of Li-Ion batteries, and eight hydrogen tanks for long-term storage.

Hydrogen has a very high energy content: for the same weight, it contains up to three times more energy than diesel, and 2.5 times more than natural gas. That said, we know how to store natural gas in tanks or pipelines. Storing hydrogen is more difficult.
