Recently Fuel Cell Boat b.v., a consortium of Dutch companies, came to an agreement to develop and build a hydrogen-operated boat. This hydrogen boat will be exploited in Amsterdam as a roundtrip boat. The great advantage of this hydrogen boat is its environment-friendly character. The boat is a so-called "zero emission vessel": absolutely no emission (such as CO2) of detrimental substances takes place.
The ‘green’ roundtrip boat has a capacity of 100 passengers and is expected to be completed later in 2007. In order to enable this, the consortium will also place a tank station that will supply the boat with hydrogen. The required hydrogen will be produced by means of electrolysis on the basis of electricity from wind energy. Today, small boat vessels operating on hydrogen already exist, but a commercially exploited hydrogen boat of this dimension is a world first.

How gosh darn green can you get?
