The company’s pioneering approach, termed ‘Oceans of Energy,’ centres on mobile renewable energy independent of power grids. DRIFT’s high-performance sailing ships use deep ocean wind to generate green energy at sea, utilising an AI-enabled routing system to stay in optimal conditions. Once their hydrogen tanks are full, they return to port for energy distribution.
DRIFT is committed to expanding its renewable energy partnerships to support coastal and island communities worldwide, particularly the 65+ million people living across 1,000+ islands.
