Drift Energy produces green energy at sea using sailing vessels with underwater turbines and delivers it globally. The company introduces self-described world's first green energy yachts that generate, store, and distribute renewable energy.

Drift Energy

The world needs more green power!

Our mission is to solve the world's biggest problem, by using its biggest resource. Its oceans.

We do this by harvesting green hydrogen at sea and transporting it globally.

Our technology is creating a new class of renewable energy and lends DRIFT multiple advantages over existing classes of renewable energy.  We are viable in more places.  Produce more power, more of the time.  Are simpler to maintain. And are crucially up to 10x quicker to implement.

Please get in touch - we would love to share our story and talk careers, investment and technical partnerships.

⛵️ Finding ways to generate green hydrogen will be critical to decarbonising heavy industry, particularly for remote island nations with scarcer access to clean power.

That’s exactly what DRIFT Energy Ltd is doing—building a fleet of high performance sailing vessels to capture wind energy, generate green hydrogen, then distribute it to coastal and island communities. 

They’ve just announced their £5M Series A led by Octopus Ventures, including our investment via Blue Action Accelerator and an Innovate UK grant. Congratulations to founder Ben Medland and the whole DRIFT team on this huge milestone, which looks set to enable production of their vessels from next year.

Notes from a Large Ocean Nation...

One month on from the #SIDS4  United Nations 4th International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and DRIFT shares reflections on what we learned.

There is so much to be positive about.  The momentum and bias for action is incredible. And although there are big challenges that need rapid fixes... we stand by our commitment to work with the UN SIDS community to support their energy transition in our own unique way.

Enjoy the read - and shoot us a comment...
