The H2 Clipper

Long-haul hydrogen and freight transport

Meet the world's first point-to-point hydrogen delivery system, the pipeline-in-the-sky™. The Clipper can transport fuel cell grade hydrogen from where it is inexpensive to make to destinations around the world with greater affordability, safety, and efficiency than any other available form of transport. No canals, ship ports, tube trucks or railways required.

70% less expensive than air freight
2X payload capacity and 10X cargo volume of traditional freighters
7X to 10X faster than ship, truck, or rail

Renewable energy propulsion

Lighter-than-air flight

Hydrogen is more than cargo. It's also the Clipper's source of propulsion and lift. Our patented “lighter-than-air” dirigible design, with virtually no residual drag, enables the Clipper to operate as an entirely green, zero emission form of transport.

Zero Carbon Emissions

Clipper's only byproduct from its fuel cell propulsion system is pure, fresh water.

Sustainable speed

Faster than a ship, truck, or rail, the Clipper will deliver goods directly from overseas factories to local distribution centers in hours. No congested canals, ship ports, railways or intermodal transfers required.

Applications

The Clipper's multi-use capacity allows it to stay in continuous operation. No “dead-heading” thereby radically reduces the cost of hydrogen distribution. Faster than a ship, truck, or rail, the Clipper will deliver goods directly from overseas factories to local distribution centers in hours. Thereby reducing the delivered cost of hydrogen making it competitive with fossil fuel prices today. No canals, ship ports, tube trucks or railways required.

Freight

Direct from factory to distribution at less than a third of the cost of air freight
