Skypull SA
Globally scalable renewable wind energy with tethered hybrid
Skypull is developing an airborne wind energy system with ground-based generator. With 95% less material than wind turbines but double their production capacity, it will produce renewable energy at lowest cost… lower than from fossil fuels! The Skypull fully autonomous VTOL aircraft flies like a kite in more powerful winds at higher altitudes, pulling on a tether connected to the generator to generate electricity. A reduced scale prototype is already operational, and further development incorporates scalability of production, to allow acceleration of the buildup of affordable renewable energy for countering climate change.
Skypull is just about to close its first financing round with a corporate venture firm based in Dubai. This allows now to boost both company and development.
