Hydrogen2Boat is an innovative system designed to provide electrical energy for auxiliary systems and also for the propulsion of sailboat up to 40 ft (12 m). The idea is to exploit the renewable energy that can be produced onboard in order to reduce or substitute the diesel propulsion engine and power the electric system without the emission of pollutants making the boat totally carbon free.
