World's First Ever Hydrogen Powered Boat to Launch in UAE

THE JET ZeroEmission, a Swiss-based startup, recently announced that it has come to an agreement with UAE-based company Zenith Marine Services LLC and DWYN LLC to build and launch the first-ever clean-energy, hydrogen-powered flying boat, to be called THE JET. 

This boat, which will feature an iconic design, will launch in Dubai. The announcement made regarding this launch is reflective of Dubai’s position as a top global hub for current and future industries. For one, Dubai’s incredible infrastructure and investment environment make for an ideal launchpad for companies aiming to reach their ambitions through great innovations. 

But what exactly will this hydrogen-powered flying boat be like, and what would it mean for those who wish to invest in Dubai properties? Read on and find out:

THE JET Features

THE JET has some cutting-edge characteristics because it is made using the latest technologies available. It is made to be capable of flying silently over water at a speed of 40 knots. This luxurious boat can handle 8 to 12 passengers and is equipped with an air conditioner, two fuel cells, and other clean-tech and eco-friendly technologies that all contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions. 

The Launch in Dubai

Alain Thébault, the founder of THE JET ZeroEmission and the 2009 world sailing speed record holder, shared that they are pleased to announce the upcoming launch from Dubai of THE JEt - the first boat in the world to sail with no noise, emissions, or waves. 

They believe that Dubai is an ideal destination for businesses and innovators from all over the world who want to develop innovative projects and that THE JET, they believe, is just the beginning of it. Those who are interested in seeing the incredible boat have the opportunity to set sight on it at the 28th International Climate Summit to be held in the UAE.

The startup has successfully secured the required funding of 10 million Euros to launch the project, too. It is indeed a huge step forward for the entire clean-tech industry. 

The cooperation agreement between THE JET and the business partners in UAE is a huge deal for the industry of clean-energy maritime transport. Clean and renewable energy is necessary for sustainable development and is at the forefront of the UAE and Dubai’s strategic priorities. The latter is recognized as an international leader when it comes to developing clean and renewable energy. In fact, Dubai has launched the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, which aims to create 75% of its energy needs from clean sources by the year 2050.

As you can expect, this will make Dubai a huge centre of clean energy and a hub for green economy. The said strategy is made up of five major pillars, including funding, building capacities and skills, infrastructure, legislation, and environment-friendly energy.

Conclusion

The upcoming launch of THE JET in Dubai is indeed exciting news, especially for business owners and innovators who are always looking for inspiration. This will also be good for Dubai's real estate industry as this will surely attract investors who would be interested in properties for sale or rent.
