Welcome to DRIFT’s Media Centre
Our story
The world needs more green energy and needs it fast. DRIFT’s mission is to solve the world's biggest problem by using its biggest resource - the ocean.
We offer a brand-new class of mobile, renewable energy that is independent of any power grid. High performance, state-of-the-art sailing ships harnessing deep ocean wind to produce green hydrogen at sea and delivering it globally, essentially making them ‘fishing boats for energy’. They do this using a unique, AI-enabled vessel routing algorithm that enables them to find and stay in optimum ‘Goldilocks’ weather conditions.
Our energy transition solution is mobile, resilient and works outside of existing infrastructure projects. DRIFT’s technology uniquely unlocks the planet’s greatest resource, overcoming supply challenges and enabling a fair and equitable clean energy transition.
One of DRIFT’s energy harvesting ships could produce enough green energy to power 800-1000 UK homes, 30 hydrogen powered buses or a fleet of 400 hydrogen vans in a single year.
