Sunreef Yachts, which recently started building the 80 Eco Hydrogen, has revealed new images of its Zero Cat sailing catamaran. Measuring over 90ft, the Zero Cat superyacht concept is being developed by the shipyard’s R&D department and includes a reformer to transform methanol into clean hydrogen.
“The Zero Cat will generate net zero emissions, no nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides,” Sunreef stated. “Other advantages include low noise and vibration levels, as well as low maintenance. The system will also guarantee the highest level of safety, as no high-pressure hydrogen storage will be needed on board.”
The Zero Cat’s hydrogen production system will be supplemented by hydro generators and solar cells integrated in the yacht’s bodywork, which will generate clean energy with zero emissions to be used for both the electric propulsion and hotel load. Sunreef’s dealers in Asia include Hong Seh Marine in Singapore and Lee Marine in Thailand.
