Ethanol Ventures are the proud sponsors of Bear Grylls' coldest and most daring mission to date in the sub-zero wilderness of Antarctica.

In December 2008, Bear and his team travelled to one of the least explored regions of Antarctica in an audacious bid to climb one of the most remote unclimbed peaks on earth and to explore part of the great continental ice-shelf by jetski and inflatable boat, partly powered by bioethanol, an almost entirely carbon neutral fuel alternative.

The team used many different forms of alternative energy, including:

- wind powered kite-skiing

- part bioethanol powered jetskis and inflatable boats

- electric powered paragliders

- solar and wind powered base camps... and good old foot work!

The expedition aims to promote the potential of alternative energies such as bioethanol as a sustainable source of energy for the future.

Global Angels are joining Bear Grylls and Ethanol Ventures in a bold attempt to raise $1million for projects which save children's lives across the world. The projects we are focusing on have a particular emphasis on providing sustainable solutions to children's needs, and look to provide long-term solutions. Your support makes all the difference. Thank you.
