More global efforts are needed around the optimization, regulation and demand creation for the production and use of hydrogen as a green energy vector,…
Zero-emissions
Green hydrogen and fuel cells power highly efficient electric motors. Only water vapor is released.
Wave reduction
The combined use of hydrofoils and an optimized hull design minimizes wave generation, protecting the environment and people from the impact of waves.
Unique experience
No more seasickness! Thanks to hydrofoil technology, ZESST hovers above the waves making the boat's movements extremely smooth.
Become a Sponsor
By becoming a sponsor in Zesst, you join the team of pioneer aerospace engineers that turn visionary ideas into reality.. Our vision is to provide unmatched “fly on water” experience in silence and powered by water, wind and sunlight. Climate change requires real actions and ZESST answer a stringent need and address huge market opportunities for zero emission maritime transport.
Sponsors will not only be supporting us to achieve our goal but benefiting from the following opportunities.
Innovation and Sustainability
Associate your brand with innovative and sustainable solutions that shapes our future. Have insight on the ZESST development and performances.
Japanese Market
Gain exposure to the Japanese market. Due the rapid acceptation of hydrogen power transport in Japan, Zesst is already highly active.
Brand Exposure
Zesst Precursor is present at many international events, culminating with live showcase navigating at the World Expo 2025 in Osaka (est. 28 million visitors).
Energy-saving
ZESST's revolutionary design saves 85% of energy. Genetic optimization algorithms are used to achieve this exceptional performance.
Performance
Established space technologies and extremely solid ultralightweight materials allow ZESST to be piloted at a cruising speed of 50km/h.
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is the fuel used in the ZESST motor. It is combined with oxygen from the air to produce energy and water vapor. The hydrogen is extracted from water using green energy.
Achieving zero emissions
Over 40% of the world’s population lives less than 40 kilometers away from the shoreline. The increase in economic activity in coastal regions is putting unprecedented pressure on our ecosystem. As the climate experts from GIEC stated: the time for decarbonization is now.
Our vision: Achieving net-zero emissions for maritime mobility.
Our mission is to deploy industry-leading zero-emission vessels that can help bring coastal societies closer to one another.
Our team's extensive experience and track record in the space industry sets us apart from conventional offerings in the market.
Total investment and operating costs are minimized through the optimization of resources and the smart integration of different technologies on board ZESST.
The introduction of each ZESST results in a reduction of more than 1'500 tons of CO2 per year per ship.
ZESST complies with national and international (MARPOL, ECA) environmental protection regulations and is a safe and sustainable investment for the present and future requirements of the 21st century. ZESST follows the principles of sustainable blue economy financing (UNEP FI)
