Qair and Energy Observer launch joint mission in Nice

France’s Qair, an independent renewable energy company, and Energy Observer renewed their partnership at the UN Ocean Conference in Nice. Since 2017, Energy Observer has sailed 68,000 nautical miles, showing that a mix of solar, wind, hydrogen, and tidal energy can work. The vessel uses solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and a hydrogen system to run on its own without using fossil fuels. A new nine-year global expedition is underway, structured around seven missions to explore decarbonization, ecological resilience, and economic models. The first phase (2025–2026) spans from the Mediterranean to Iceland, with local events hosted along the route. Qair, active in 20+ countries, continues to implement hybrid renewable systems. As part of its broader clean energy strategy, Qair also unveiled a 30 MW solar plant in Poland, reinforcing its commitment to scalable land-based solar solutions.
