As explained by the manufacturer, Zeus will be equipped with a hybrid apparatus (2 diesel generators and 2 electric motors) which will be used as a conventional propulsion system. What’s more, it will have a 130-kilowatt fuel cell facility, powered by about 50 pounds of hydrogen contained in 8 metal hydride cylinders. Such technologies are already used by submarines. Together with the system of batteries, the facility will allow autonomous work for about 8 hours of sailing with zero emissions at a speed of about 7.5 knots.
