Maritime History Meets Green Technology on the Hudson: following Fulton with fuel cells
The New Clermont Project is a celebration of alternative energy and New York State history.
A group of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute students will retro-fit and sail a boat powered by hydrogen fuel cells, along the Hudson River, from New York City to Albany, retracing the famous voyage of the world’s first steamboat, the Clermont. The voyage will take place is late September.
Just as Clermont captain Robert Fulton sought to prove the feasibility of steam power to the world, the New Clermont and its crew aim to prove the viability of green, pollution-free hydrogen fuel cells as a power source. Hydrogen fuel cells emit only water and produce no harmful greenhouse gases or pollutants.
The New Clermont Project will boost public awareness of clean energy for transportation, and help to celebrate the rich history of New York State and the Hudson River. The New Clermont Project aims to celebrate and coincide with the bicentennial anniversary of Fulton’s trip. 2009 is also the quadricentennials of the voyage of Henry Hudson, who sailed up the river that now bears his name.
