In order to meet the 1.5°C global warming target in the Paris Agreement, global carbon emissions should reach net zero around mid-century. For developed nations such as the UK, the date will need to be much earlier. We also now understand that net zero is no longer good enough; we need to be carbon negative if we're to reverse the damage that's been done to our planet.
Sail Electric is our engineering division. We lead by example; sailing without diesel around the South West and Wales, providing real-world insight so fellow boat owners and operators can take that critical first step towards going green on the blue.
We aim to inspire a shift towards a more sustainable environment, both on land and at sea.
Together with leading green thinkers
From within the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere Reserve
Based a few miles from Ilfracombe, we are proud to have partnered with the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. From the highlands of Dartmoor and Exmoor, down the river valleys to the sea and beyond Lundy, the North Devon Biosphere is one of 668 Reserves in 122 countries designated by UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme and was the first of 6 to be designated in the UK.
The Biosphere is a demonstrator, an example of what our world can look like in the future and the focal area for our research and development for our 2030 carbon negative and marine science campaign.
The designation secures a better future by linking people and nature today.
