A warming ocean can kill an entire planet
Its just beginning
June Ocean heat was off the charts
The sea of Japan was more than 7 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius) warmer than average
Coast around UK over 5 C above normal
Baltic sea over 8 C above normal
Why drive if you can cycle? A much needed car ban today here at our Labintech offices to promote cycling to work... we even have bikes here powered by hydrogen!! @PBCAtlantech @AggloLR @PragmaMobility
A short but very rewarding visit to Jersey this week to kick off our exciting #maritime #decarbonisation partnership with the island, discussing the role of #hydrogen technology with the Government and Ports of Jersey for reduced emissions

It's official 🙋♂️@Phil_Sharp_ has registered for the @VendeeGlobe !
To date 28 skippers have officially declared themselves as candidates to compete in this ultimate challenge ➡ to race around the world, non-stop, single-handed, and with no assistance.
Exciting news! This partnership will really explore how we can apply hydrogen fuel-cell technology and green hydrogen fuels to start decarbonising the island’s maritime industry as well as its wider transport applications. Jersey has enormous potential to reach net zero !
We are delighted to announce a new partnership with the @GovJersey. The partnership will see the formation of a zero-carbon consortium established with the Government of Jersey, Ports of Jersey and OceansLab to support the island’s net zero commitments.

Very stimulating discussion last night, thanks @Bruichladdich - had no idea just how important organic & closed-loop farming is for a healthy soil & the environment... sequestering carbon, water, taste, health... so much!
I am now buying only organic.. sod the expense.
Organic barley - great for flavour and for sustainability - our discussion is live now.

Clean whisky from green hydrogen!
Great example of how businesses can decarbonise their heat from @Bruichladdich's pilot project to install a hydrogen boiler for their distillation process

We're off! Lorient is behind us, and on the road south to the Canaries... Great breeze, doing a nice 21-22kt 👌
A little upcoming offshore adventure to Grand Canaria on a boat with 3 hulls!! They are designed for speed... and not much else. @oceanfifty

The sea concerns us, connects us! On Islay, it’s our main road, our larder, trade route, our friend our enemy... We are proud to support @Phil_Sharp_ and his pioneering clean fuel for maritime project.

We live by the ocean, eat out of it, have a long and not-always-easy history with it... The sea is our main road. This #worldoceansday sign the petition to protect more of it, here campaignfornature.org/petiti…

5% zero-carbon fuel target has been set for 2030 to push shipping towards net zero by 2050... this doesn't sound large but is a huge undertaking and will importantly drive forward hydrogen deployment racetozero.unfccc.int/shippi…
