The miniature model was presented by a Dutch firm called Sinot Yacht & Architecture Design. The ship called Aqua would run on liquid hydrogen and fuel-cell technology with water being its only emission.

The yacht would function using two 28-ton vacuum-sealed tanks of liquid hydrogen stored at -423 degrees Fahrenheit. The tanks would be visible through a glass panel at the center of the vessel.
