DRIFT SEED ROUND
DRIFT Energy is on a mission to create a new class of mobile renewable energy.
The net positive ship!
The Logic
Our planet desperately needs more energy, needs it to be greener and needs it quickly.
So the logical question is: where can we find an abundant source of green energy?
The answer lies over the Oceans. The 70% of our planet, which provides a vast untapped goldmine of renewable energy. Just how do we tap into it…
The Technology
Inspired by the age-old technology of the sailboat, DRIFT Energy’s vessels:
Harnessing wind power via its sails
Regenerates energy via an underwater turbine
Storing the energy onboard
Ready to be delivered to ports across the world
Using an A.I. routing algorithm to hunt ‘Goldilocks’ winds
“Like a self-filling tanker”.
As a COP 28 recognized innovator, our vision is for a global network of energy-harvesting ships. A flotilla on every sea, generating Oceans of Energy, on our way to abating a gigatonne of CO2 by 2050.
The Advantage
DRIFT is an Ocean kind. Non-invasive. Scalable green power solution for net zero.
Scalable over 70% of the globe
Ultra efficient load factors - 2x offshore wind, 8x solar and 10x tidal
