Demystifying What Powers Us

A global sailing expedition exploring the leaders, ecosystems, and innovations that power our world

Demystifying What Powers Us is the compass of this journey, exploring the leaders who drive our societies, sustain life on Earth, and power both our present and future. While the project embraces nature and ecosystem resilience, its core rests on a simple truth: energy is becoming the defining force of our century, especially as AI reshapes how we live, work, and create.

The Journey Behind the Mission

Arthur's decade-long path through sustainability, from carbon accounting and design thinking to renewable energy traceability and digital infrastructure, revealed a key insight: in an age of electrification and AI, energy is no longer just a sector; it is the foundation of everything.

Yet the story of power goes beyond electrons. We are powered by ecosystems, by communities, and by the visionaries and change-makers reinventing how we live, produce, and preserve.

From Podcast to Expedition

Since October, Arthur has published weekly podcast-style episodes featuring clean-energy innovators and transition leaders; each designed to spark deeper curiosity and connect listeners to the world of energy transformation.

This expedition brings these ideas to life:

  • Sailing coastlines and oceans
  • Meeting innovators in their communities
  • Observing climate solutions at their source
  • Cycling inland where needed
  • Collecting environmental data
  • Documenting stories of resilience and human leadership

Our Commitment to Impact

At the heart of the mission is a commitment to real, tangible impact: 50% of all sponsorship income is donated directly to charities along the route, supporting marine protection, children's education, coastal resilience, and clean-energy access across continents.
