Description
We offer a new, planet-scale class of mobile renewable energy.
DRIFT aims to drive the transition to clean energy worldwide by deploying a fleet of high-performance sailing vessels that harness deep ocean wind energy to produce green hydrogen at sea and deliver it globally.
With a focus on innovation and sustainability, DRIFT is developing and implementing renewable energy projects that benefit global communities and the environment. Energy and shipping companies, superyacht owners and island nations are approaching us for our hydrogen.
The Sunday Times called us 'the future of green energy'. We want to create #OceansofEnergy.
