Superyachts often get criticized for their lavishness and environmental impact, but a groundbreaking project is aiming to change that narrative. Meet Project 821: the world’s first superyacht powered by hydrogen.
Crafted by Feadship, a renowned Dutch custom superyacht builder, this nearly 390-foot-long vessel set sail from its Amsterdam shipyard on May 4 after five years of meticulous design and construction. Jan-Bart Verkuyl, Director of Feadship, expressed the project’s ambitious goal: “The aim has been to develop a new, clean technology not just for this project, but for the world.” He emphasized, “We have now shown that cryogenic storage of liquefied hydrogen in the interior of a superyacht is a viable solution.”
So, how does hydrogen fuel-cell technology work? It converts hydrogen into electricity, which is then stored in lithium-ion batteries. Unlike diesel, commonly used in large ships, hydrogen power generates zero emissions and combustion—only water vapor and heat are produced as byproducts. Take a closer look at this sustainable marvel with more photos of the innovative ship.
