Episode 65: Darren Vaux, President of ICOMIA | Decarbonising the Global Recreational Boating Industry – Part 1

This is a Part 1 of this episode, where I sat down with Darren Vaux, the President of ICOMIA, who have commissioned The Pathways to Decarbonisation for the Recreational Marine Industry report, with leading global engineering consulting firm, Ricardo plc,. The report investigated propulsion technologies across nine common recreational watercrafts to compare the impact of lifetime GHG emissions, financial costs, usability, performance, range and infrastructure implications. This is a special episode as Darren shares how 'for the first time, we've united the global recreational marine industry around our most comprehensive, peer-reviewed research to explore opportunities that could reduce recreational boats’ carbon emissions, giving us the data we need to begin educating policy makers, our stakeholder community, and boaters on the varied decarbonisation solutions unique to our industry. This new research provides guidance on the focus for the innovations we can begin exploring today to create a better boating experience that reduces our environmental footprint. You can read the report here.  I know you are going to find this a very interesting, informative and influential executive summary of the report, so stay in touch as Part 2 is not far away.  www.theboatprincess.com
