Uber Boat by Thames Clippers believes cleaner river transport on the Thames is being put at risk by a policy gap that urgently needs review. Vessels on tidal waterways, including the Thames, still cannot access Renewable Transport Fuel Certificates (RTFCs) - Government-backed credits designed to help offset the cost of cleaner fuels - when using Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a renewable fuel. A bus and a river service can make comparable journeys across London using the same fuel, yet only one is eligible for credit. The result is simple: cleaner fuel becomes significantly more expensive (without RTFC support it becomes nearly 50% more expensive per litre) than conventional diesel on the river, making it less attractive for operators to use and slowing progress towards lower-emission transport.

This Clean Air Day, we're proud to be building towards something big. We're approaching the launch of our next hybrid vessel - a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to electrifying our fleet and reducing emissions on the Thames. London's river has always connected communities and now it's at the forefront of cleaner, greener transport too. Cutting emissions on the water isn't just good for the environment - it's good for every Londoner who breathes the air above it. More to come very soon. Watch this space. 🌿 #CleanAirDay #Sustainability #London #GreenTransport #ElectricFleet #Thames #NetZero #CleanerCommute

Momentum for Culture@LCAW 2026 is well underway. On 4 June 2026, we were delighted to host a pre-LCAW convening at the Clipper Lounge at Embankment Pier, bringing together creatives, institutions, philanthropy and others working at the intersection of culture and climate change to hear about Culture@LCAW 2026. With opening remarks from Adrian White, Director of Communications and Marketing at Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, and Malini Mehra, London Climate Action Week Ambassador, alongside updates from senior representatives across the arts, fashion, theatre and more. Directly across the river from the Royal Festival Hall, the message was clear: the world of arts and culture is increasingly taking on the climate challenge and using LCAW as its stage to engage the world. Thank you to everyone who joined us. We look forward to seeing these conversations continue through Culture@LCAW 2026. #LCAW #CultureAndClimate #CreativeClimate #ClimateAction #ArtsForChange
