A futuristic yacht from Japan is proving that the future of boating could be far cleaner than anyone imagined and uses something that no boat is ever lacking – seawater.

The vessel, called Winz Maru, can create its own hydrogen fuel while out at sea, meaning it doesn’t have to rely on traditional refueling infrastructure in the same way as conventional boats.

Developed as part of the Wind Hunter Project by Japanese shipping giant Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), the remarkable craft uses renewable energy generated while sailing to produce clean fuel from seawater.

The project could offer a glimpse into how ships of the future may dramatically reduce their reliance on fossil fuels.
