Kieron Pollard and Dinanath Ramnarine have solidified their commitment to reducing global greenhouse gas emissions with the establishment of their start-up, GoElectricTT.

In February 2024, the duo signed a contract with the International Development Bank to provide support funding for the initiative.

Through this, they will engage corporate entities to switch to electric vehicles to reduce emissions and move closer to targets in the Paris Agreement.

The duo’s sustainability drive extends to their investment in Blewcoast, a firm specialising in certified emissions measurement, accounting, and reporting.

In a statement, Blewcoast says it has a cadre of highly skilled individuals in the fields of accounting, assurance, environmental sciences and engineering to support decarbonisation.

Commenting on the partnership, Joel ‘Monty’ Pemberton, Co-Founder and Chairman of Blewcoast, said, “What gets measured, gets done. As with sport, it takes teamwork to win; our win is global decarbonisation in a sustainable and pragmatic manner. As leaders, our actions will speak louder than our words, and it is our duty to leave our planet in a better place than when we got here. Kieron and Dinas’sporting leadership skills, complement Blewcoast’s existing skills, anchored in Trinidad & Tobago’s energy industry, which is a global powerhouse in the natural gas, LNG, methanol, ammonia and steel industries. As humans, we share this common challenge, and we can all win through powerful collaboration. Understanding the need for pragmatism through this journey, will result in positive outcomes for humanity.”
