Sanlorenzo Unveils the First Fuel-Cell Powered 50Steel Superyacht: A Leap Towards Sustainable Luxury
Sanlorenzo has officially announced the launch of its groundbreaking 50Steel superyacht, named Almax, marking a significant milestone in the luxury yachting industry. This innovative vessel is the first of its kind to be powered by bio-methanol and fuel cell technology, setting a new standard for environmentally friendly and sustainable yachting.
A Commitment to Responsible Development
In line with its "Road to 2030" strategy, Sanlorenzo is dedicated to leading the way in responsible yacht development. The introduction of the first 50Steel equipped with methanol fuel cells by 2024 is a testament to this commitment. Sanlorenzo's collaboration with industry giants such as Siemens Energy, Zuccon International Project, and Piero Lissoni in the design and development of the yacht underscores the company's dedication to innovation and sustainability.
Revolutionary Design and Technology
The 50Steel superyacht boasts an energy-efficient design, featuring a hidden engine room layout that is a first in the world of superyachts. This design accommodates the modular "Reformer – Fuel Cell" system, a pioneering technology capable of converting green methanol into electricity. This system not only powers the yacht's onboard systems but also significantly reduces its environmental impact, making the 50Steel a leader in sustainable luxury yachting.
