for sustainable future: Monaco invites you to the 11th Energy Boat Challenge
From 1st to July 6, 2024, the 11th Energy Boat Challenge takes place in Monaco. The event is organized every year by the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) in cooperation with the Foundation Fürst Albert II of Monaco and aims to promote the topics of sustainability and alternative drive options. In the sustainability competition, electroote from 27 nations and more than 55 emission -free boats are expected this year.
The Monaco Energy Boat Challenge serves as a platform to demonstrate innovative alternative drive systems and to pave the way into a more sustainable future for the boat industry. Experts in the industry meet young engineers and representatives from research and environment. Technical discussions and conferences are an integral part of the event and should help to shape the future of the Yachtsport, explains Bernard d’Allessandri, general secretary and managing director of the Monaco Yacht Club.
The competition is divided into different categories, including solar and prototypes. Participants from all over the world, including Canada, Croatia, Peru, Chile, China and Monaco, present boats with electrical or solar drive. Many of them are prototypes and not yet available on the market.
In almost half of the projects presented, hybrid hydrogen technologies are used, while the other teams rely on lithium-ion batteries. Each team can freely assess the consumption depending on the choice of the energy source and even produce energy during a race.
The participating boats are rated by a renowned jury, which also includes 21 well -known universities this year, including the University of Cambridge in England and the Technical University of Berlin.
A highlight this year is the development of a waterist by the University of Cambridge, which is equipped with small wings and can therefore float on the water.
Another novelty is an autonomous, green hydrogen pontoon that ensures the energy supply of eight teams with green hydrogen and contributes to reducing the CO2 footprint of the event.
The Yacht Club de Monaco is also committed away from the event of sustainability by installing a system that recycles the water from its own swimming pool. The recycled water is used to clean boats and to irrigate plants.
