Alternative fuel powered boatsBest Alternative fuel powered boats

Introduction:

With the depletion of traditional energy sources, alternative fuels today are becoming increasingly important. Here we are discussing about Eco-boats that run on alternative fuels like bio-diesel and fuel cells.

1. Mochi Craft Long Range 23

Mochi Craft Long Range 23The Mochi Craft Long Range 23 is first zero emissions boat equipped with hybrid propulsion system.

First zero emissions boat equipped with hybrid propulsion system. Green heads of innovation have been scratching their wit, making water crafts to shed the least emissions. And with the Mochi Craft Long Range 23, Ferretti Group’s AYT (Advanced Yacht Technology) in collaboration with Studio Zuccon International Project, have actually achieved the pinnacle. The only boat in the world with RINA “Green Star Clean Energy and Clean Propulsion” certification, the zero emissions boat this, has affirmed itself as one by bagging the “Trophée de l’Innovation 2009“ and “Best Layout 2009” at the prestigious Festival International de la Plaisance.

2. Nemo H2 Canal Boat

Nemo H2 Canal BoatNemo h2 hydrogen fuel cell canal boat

Zero-emission canal boat powered by hydrogen fuel cells. The first-of-its-kind hydrogen fuel cell-powered canal boat has made its debut cruise. The zero-emission canal boat emitted only water vapor as it sailed through Amsterdam’s centuries-old canals. Dubbed the Nemo H2, the boat can carry about 87 people and runs on a system that mixes hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity and water. From spring, visitors will have the option of a “CO2 Zero Canal Cruise,” in the Nemo H2, by paying an additional 50 (euro) cents.

3. Earthrace

Earthrace is a 78-foot wave-piercing trimaran designed by New Zealand naval architect Craig Loomis Design Group and built by Calibre Boats. To ensure the lowest weight and highest strength possible, the hull is constructed of carbon fiber with a top layer of Kevlar and is designed to cut through waves, rather than ride on top of them. Earthrace was craned from the water January 23, 2007 in Charleston. Cummins MerCruiser Diesel is a primary sponsor of Earthrace through its donation of QSC engines, which will be modified to increase total output to 1,200 horsepower.

4. Mary Slim

Mary Slim luxury boat from Multimarine is probably one of the most posh and stylish ways to go green. You can just go out and buy this super boat and also boast about how eco-conscious you are. It basically serves you in two ways. One is the obvious fact that you own a magnificent looking boat and secondly you can even gloat about how you are saving the planet and doing it a favor by throwing some big cash around. Mary Slim is specifically designed to reduce fuel consumption.

5. Biocat

BiocatBiocat Catamaran

A green and stylish catamaran that can race ahead with a V10 engine powered by biodiesel. Catamarans are not just a statement of style and luxury but efficiency and space while cruising along on waves. Modern catamaran designs have taken luxury on water to a whole new level, and the Biocat adds a tinge of green to that. This sleek and sexy machine is powered by a V10 engine or two V8 engines that could be run with both regular diesel and even biodiesel. This makes sure that those with a green inclination will use the cleaner option that is available. The 8.8 meter long vehicle can hit top speeds of 100-110 mph.

6. Zembo

Fuel cell-powered concept boat. Designed by Simon Gorski of Entwurfreich, ZEMBO (Zero Emission Boat) is a 12m long, motorized boat concept, settled in the premium day-cruiser segment. The extreme lightweight construction of the recyclable aluminum-mono hull has excellent gliding properties and reduces the weight substantially. owered by the energy from a fuel cell in combination with a wave generator, ZEMBO reaches an emission free top speed of 35 knots(65km/h), exploring an action radius of 200 nautical miles (370 km).

7. Infinyte

InfinyteZero-emission boat powered by electric motors.

Infinyte has unveiled a new range of all-electric boats that have been designed to make your weekend cruises green and noise-free. The company offers three different sizes of electric boats, with the first two for fishing and the third one for a family ride. The boat is powered by onboard battery packs. The batteries fuel two 2hp electric motors that can propel the boat to a top speed of eight knots. It may not be the fastest boat available on the market, but with a battery capacity of 10 hours, it’ll make sure that you get back home before the juice runs out. However, with electric charging stations still not common, recharging this boat could be a problem.

8. The Arkki

The ArkkiZero-emission all-electric boat concept

Industrial designer Janne Leppänen is getting prepared with a concept boat called the ARKKI. The ARKKI features a huge open space with a surface like that of an indoor basketball court. The entire surface of the boat is covered with multilayer photovoltaic cells that can produce the required energy from the sun to power the boat. The concept features a concrete hull that is reinforced with plastic fibers, making the boat stable and rigid enough to be used in the winter season as well. Other parts of the boat are to be crafted from natural fiber composite materials.

9. PlanetSolar

PlanetSolarPlanetSolar Eco-boat

Solar-powered catamaran to go around the world in 120 days. Using nothing other than the power of the sun, the catamaran will be able to travel at an average speed of 18.5 km/h. For that speed, the catamaran will require a huge amount of solar energy, which will be generated by the world’s largest mobile solar array incorporated in the catamaran. Covering an area of over 470 square meters, the array will charge one of the world’s largest moving lithium-ion packs, which will provide power to the boat’s electric engines.

10. Eco Slim

This boat, ‘Eco Slim’ has a seating capacity of 150, its length and width is 24 m and 10.5 m respectively. It is intended mainly for tourism, unlike other boats meant for inland waterways. Eco Slim can cruise at eight knots. It gets power by electricity generated by solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and diesel-engine thermal generators, which makes it environment friendly.
