‘Hydrogenase’ by Vincent Callebaut


Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut has designed a conceptual transport system that would involve airships powered by seaweed.

Called ‘Hydrogenase’, the project envisages that by 2030 there could be farms in the ocean producing biofuel from seaweed and acting as hubs for the aircraft.

Between engineering and biology, ‘Hydrogenase’ is one of the first projects of bio-mimicry which draws its inspiration from the beauty and the self-manufacturing shapes of nature.

The new green revolution enables us to encourage clean and ethical mobility whilst being 100% self-sufficient in energy and with zero carbon emission. Its architecture would be fundamental in the reinvention of our ways of living within contemporary society.
