MAGHIC project opens new perspectives on green hydrogen in the Caribbean
14 march 2023
Farwind Energy’s European MAGHIC project has just been launched.
Arnaud Poitou, president of FARWIND ENERGY, explains “The potential of hydrogen for the Caribbean economy is tremendous. With the technology of the energy ship, which allows to locally produce electricity from far-offshore wind and transform it into hydrogen, the MAGHIC project will make it possible to reshape the role of ports in the energy transition, develop new economic activities and diversify the Caribbean energy system.”
The 15-month project aims to study the feasibility of hydrogen production, unloading and storage infrastructures in ports and to anticipate market needs.
As part of its policy to develop renewable energies in the Eastern Caribbean, the European Union has decided to support the MAGHIC project, which benefits from €1.76M of ERDF funds through the Interreg Caribbean program.

Farwind Energy among the "100 start-ups to invest in 2022" according to Challenges.
24 march 2022
Farwind Energy has been selected by the prestigious magazine Challenges in its ranking of the 100 start-ups to invest in 2022. After raising 2M€, Farwind Energy wants to accelerate the production phase of its first energy ship, which will collect wind energy at real size, to deploy it in Guadeloupe along with our partners (Grand Port Maritime de Guadeloupe and Région Guadeloupe). The energy ship has a huge replication potential for islands and for coastal areas.
This selection confirms Farwind Energy firm belief that it is possible to harness energy from the high seas, the second largest source of renewable energy on earth, and that the exceptional potential of this energy in international waters offers a solution to energy independence.
