Project
Energy Observer Solutions
During a race, French sailor Victorien Erussard鈥檚 generator broke down. Despite being surrounded by natural energy sources, he realised that he was reliant on diesel fuel to continue his journey. With the help of explorer Jer么me Delafosse, he started looking at how to capitalise on sustainable energy.
Reducing emissions, inspiring action
And so, with a team of experts, the pair began working on the first zero-emissions vessel. Since their hydrogen-powered vessel was launched in 2017, Victorien and Jer么me have been travelling the world to share their story and show how the ecological transition can become a reality.
Combining education & concrete solutions
Taking this commitment one step further, the pair launched Energy Observer Solutions as a laboratory for sustainable solutions and educational digital content platform. The aim? Raise awareness about the UN鈥檚 SDGs to drive change. As the project grows, a solutions incubator Energy Observer Developments has also been set up to produce energy solutions on an industrial scale.
300,000 people have visited the itinerant Energy Observer exhibition about clean energy over the past 3 years, encouraging citizens to take action to protect our planet. The zero-emission vessel and innovative REXH2 fuel cell system also serve as models for accelerating the ecological transition.
