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.

Welcome to the team Emily Louisa Victoria Hare! 🎇 Emily recently joined DRIFT's vessel design team as Graduate Systems Engineer. We asked her about her motivation for joining, the path that led her here and a little about what she's working on...🎤 👁️🗨️ "Joining DRIFT was an opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation in the energy sector and to bring a new solution to an old problem, to really make a difference and see the direct impact of your results as the company grows. The prospect of DRIFT excited and aligned with me in many ways, and I knew I needed to join the team. I am looking forward to the difference we can make." Emily has an integrated Masters in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Liverpool. Her 2-year masters project was a start-up focusing on providing a modular, off grid solar powered refrigeration system for tomato 🍅 farmers in Zanzibar. During that time, Emily also volunteered as a #STEM ambassador, working with schools on vertical farming projects. 👁️🗨️ "At DRIFT, I'm primarily working on the subcomponents within the ship and their integration into the system as a whole. Our AI routing algorithm is essential to DRIFT, hence the close-coupled integration of systems to achieve the highest possible utilisation of the vessel." 👁️🗨️ #OceansOfEnergy #innovation #technology #careers #startups
It was great to be part of this ORRAA initiative! Ben was delighted to share what he's learned so far on DRIFT's startup journey with a room full of innovative founders on the #ORIC Leadership Academy programme. 🙏🏻 #OceansOfEnergy #startups #blueeconomy
🌊🌍 ORIC Leadership Academy – Driving Ocean Resilience! Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting the Ocean Resilience Innovation Challenge (ORIC) Leadership Academy! ORIC is our product incubator, supporting up to 10 early-stage, locally-led projects focused on building coastal resilience and reducing ocean risk. After 12 months of mentoring and leadership training, five standout projects are selected for investment and additional backing. The Academy brought together project partners from across the globe to exchange insights, share best practices, and benefit from invaluable leadership training, culminating in a session where investors and key stakeholders could connect with them, and experience firsthand the potential to scale and make meaningful impacts in Ocean resilience and sustainability. 🪸 Special thanks to our project partners: ABALOBI, Aqua-Farms Organization - AFO, Mawimbi, PescaData, Pezzy Pets, Pula Advisors, Satsense Solutions, Save The Waves Coalition and Sahabat Laut Lestari (SLL Fisheries) for their participation. We’re also grateful to our event facilitators and the Swiss Re Foundation, Government of Canada, the UK’s Blue Planet Fund & the U.S. Department of State for their financial support. #OceanResilience #Innovation #Sustainability #ORIC

Ben Medland of DRIFT Energy Ltd speaks of "and, and" as opposed to either or thinking. Steven Lua of Unitrove suggests a cross sectoral approach to upscaling fuels and technology, mentioning that #hydrogen technology is coming from the automotive industry with learnings in shipping transferable to aviation. Also on the panel - Martin Leigh of GRAFMARINE and Eero Lehtovaara of ABB expertly moderate by Sue Terpilowski OBE at #SOCSEA24. #greenhydrogen #liquidhydrogen Thank you Peter Green and Tim Munn for organising this tremendous event and giving a platform to Zero Emissions Ship Technology Association (ZESTAs) members!
