Abstract

The article focuses on the Energy Observer, a hydrogen-powered catamaran that operates using renewable energy sources including solar, wind, and seawater. The boat generates green electricity from solar panels to extract hydrogen gas from seawater, which fuels its motors and provides hot water for the crew, enabling it to produce its own fuel at sea without pollution or noise. Originally built in 1983 as a racing yacht named Formule TAG, the vessel has been recycled and transformed into a sustainable transport prototype demonstrating environmentally friendly maritime technology.
