　　We've seen futuristic airships before, but never one that doubles as a hydrogen­producing flying farm! Designed for the South China Sea near Hainan, Callebaut's hydrogenase airships are completely self­sufficient and contain a specialized breed of seaweed that absorbs sunlight and CO2 to produce hydrogen.

　　 According to the architects, "The output obtained from micro­seaweed is superior to that of using farming to produce biofuel. 330 grams of seaweed produce 1,000 liters of hydrogen per day, while soybeans produce roughly 1,000 liters of oil per hectare(公顷)．A hectare of seaweed could thus produce much more biofuel than a hectare of soybeans."

In addition to providing a clean source of renewable energy, hydrogenase airships offer an eco­friendly means of transportation.Although certainly slower than ordinary planes, the airships are nearly silent and require a very little basic structure to take off and land.The architects also suggest that the airships should provide disaster relief for remote areas, and be used as flying hospitals and aid centers.Each hydrogenase airship is covered with flexible photovoltaic cells(
