case study
The Coastal Exploration Company offer sustainable sailing adventures along the north Norfolk coast and waterways. As part of their commitment to preserving the local environment and reducing their impacts, the company has worked with environment charity Groundwork to measure their emissions and put in place a decarbonisation plan.
One of the key measures that was explored by Groundwork East was to replace existing outboard engines, which are running on fossil fuels, with electric alternatives.
The environmental benefits and advantages of moving to electric engines include:
The Coastal Exploration Company received a carbon reduction grant from North Norfolk District Council to upgrade to 2 new electric outboard engines, anticipated to save around 0.5 tonnes of CO2e per year. The grant fund provided 50% of the purchase and installation costs for the new equipment.
Groundwork East is delivering the North Norfolk Net Zero Advice service and grant programme on behalf of North Norfolk District Council, accessing UK government funding through the Shared Prosperity Fund.

Protecting our natural environmental is extremely important to our team and the visitors who come to this beautiful part of the country so we’re pleased to be reducing our impacts further by moving to low carbon electric engines. Henry,
The Coastal Exploration Company
