We enable an affordable, reliable and sustainable transition of today’s energy systems.
Founded in 2023, ShipTown was created with a clear vision: to make clean energy affordable, reliable, and simple for everyone - available on demand, from seconds to seasons.
Our team brings together deep expertise, strong industry networks and practical innovation to rethink how renewable energy is stored and delivered to the grid when it is needed most. We focus on doing the work, not just talking about it.
By building solutions that are simple, effective and scalable, we are laying the groundwork for real deployment and full commercialisation.
“We started ShipTown based on one simple idea: bring clean, reliable energy to ships and towns - anywhere, anytime.”
— Karsten Schibsbye, Founder and CTO

Timeline
Sustainability in Practice
Our commitment to sustainability shapes how we design, build and operate our solutions. It guides our choices and keeps us focused on impact over intent.
Local responsibility
We support local production wherever possible. This strengthens regional economies and reduces emissions linked to transport. We choose proximity over complexity.
Positive climate impact
We enable the production of CO₂-negative energy. This allows us to contribute directly to long term decarbonisation. We focus on outcomes that matter.
Circular responsibility
We design our systems with their full lifecycle in mind. This includes buy back mechanisms at end of life, responsible recycling and reuse, and longevity through modular upgrades and easy disassembly. We minimise waste and reduce reliance on virgin materials.
Material integrity
We avoid the use of rare earth metals in our products. This allows for more responsible sourcing and a lower environmental footprint. We make deliberate material choices.
System reliability
We provide stable energy storage and grid balancing solutions that support a higher share of renewable energy in the mix. We help existing energy systems transition without compromising reliability.
Partners
We work with leading public institutions and industry partners to scale hydrogen battery technology and decarbonise the energy sector.
