This week, Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA unveiled the world's first hydrogen-powered outboard for recreational boats at Miami International Boat Show (Informa U.S. Boat Shows). This innovative project, in collaboration with Roush and Regulator Marine, is a key step in our strategy for carbon neutrality, embracing multiple technology solutions. Partnering with Roush brings over two decades of hydrogen systems integration and research to our fuel system engineering. Together, we're exploring the viability of hydrogen in the marine market ready for testing in the summer. In line with our commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, Yamaha is strategically exploring hydrogen as a sustainable method to attain these ambitious goals. This endeavour is reinforced by a recent groundbreaking study commissioned by the International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA), titled "The Pathways to Decarbonization for the Recreational Marine Industry." This first-of-its-kind study validates Yamaha’s approach to carbon neutrality, highlighting a multi-plan strategy as the most effective means to continue the decarbonization of recreational boating. #YamahaOntheWater #RevsYourHeart #HydrogenOutboardEngine

At Carbonx Climate, our mission is to identify and drive financing to the most promising and scalable Carbon Removal initiatives. We are thrilled to share a major update as we embark on 2024 by solidifying our ongoing partnership with Andes. On behalf of our clients, we have purchased 2,000 tons of carbon removal, marking a significant stride in our collective mission. 🚀 Andes employs a groundbreaking approach to carbon capture, utilizing microorganisms to permanently remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Their approach also offers co-benefits for farmers – improved water drainage, higher nutrient content in the soil, and decreased likelihood of plant diseases.   “Andes is excited to announce this purchase from a corporate client of Carbonx, a top procurement partner for high-quality permanent carbon removals. It is a strong attestation of Andes technology as a carbon removal solution, given the rigorous due diligence that was conducted. This offtake will enable Andes to continue to scale microbial carbon mineralization across new geographies” Gonzalo Fuenzalida-Meriz, CEO Andes “Andes is pioneering a new and very effective way to remove CO2 at scale. We have been impressed with their commitment to scientific integrity and their ability to integrate with traditional agricultural practices to pave the way for high permanence, low-cost carbon removals.“ Sebastien Dewarrat, Head CDR Carbonx At Carbonx Climate, we have the privilege to work with many high impact carbon removal projects across a diverse spectrum of removal pathways including Direct Air Capture (DAC), Enhanced Rock Weathering, Ocean CDR and bio-based solutions such as BECCS and Biochar. Together with our partner Andes, we’re bringing carbon removal to climate relevance! 🌎 Stay tuned for more updates and communication from Carbonx. 📣 #CDR #MicrobialCarbonMineralization #PartnershipUpdate #ClimateAction #Andes #Carbonx
