 | The National Science Foundation's prime directive is to "leave no trace" in the pursuit of science and support for that endeavor. However, on the ground today, the NSF spends millions of dollars each year on fossil fuels at NSF generated bases. TransPolar understands that reducing the carbon footprint has multiple benefits in Polar Regions. Applying technologies that reduce the burning of carbon fuels will advance USAP technological capability, while reducing the volume of shipped fuels with associated cost savings. Reducing the carbon footprint is the logical path forward, both environmentally and logistically.
