AQUON One is a zero-emission yacht that utilizes cutting-edge technology. It can travel without refueling, potentially revolutionizing the maritime sector. The yacht’s solar panels power electric motors and charge lithium-ion batteries. Excess energy is used to convert desalinated seawater into hydrogen gas, stored in carbon tanks on the ship.

When needed, fuel cells transform hydrogen back into electricity, providing additional power and incredible sustainability. With fully charged batteries and hydrogen tanks, AQUON One offers up to 3 days of non-stop travel at a maximum speed of 29.6 km/h (16 knots).

As climate change and environmental pollution become pressing concerns, sustainability is crucial. Share your thoughts on the zero-emission AQUON One in the comments section below.
