Dale explorer hopes to be a polar pioneer once more, Teesdale Mercury
AN explorer from Barnard Castle will attempt to be the first person to walk to the South Pole using only renewable energy – his “hardest” challenge yet...There will be no fossil-fuelled stoves for hot drinks or any other similar tools.BP & 2041 - A long standing involvement | 2041
Instead, Swan will be using state-of-the-art green technology, which he believes will be part of the answer to beating climate change.
...We won’t have a fossil fuel stove that can blast out heat – I want to show people that if renewable energy can work at minus 50 then it can work in Barnard Castle, or wherever.”
...
Swan took time out from his globetrotting last week...
The 2041 ‘Voyage for Cleaner Energy’ began in April 2008 on the west coast of the USA. We were proud to have BP’s Alternative Energy as our primary sponsor for the first phase of the four-year mission.
